Running on the Power of Sour: Candy Dynamics Carves Out Its Place in NASCAR
INDIANAPOLIS, June 19, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Candy Dynamics, owner of the Toxic Waste® Hazardously Sour Candy® brand, is proud to announce the renewal of its partnership with NASCAR driver Brennan Poole for the 2025 season. Having worked with Poole the last two seasons, the company is eager to see even more success from this sponsorship – partnering for three races this year!
As a sour candy fanatic, and fan of the brand in his youth, Brennan Poole will be representing the Toxic Waste brand at three races in 2025:
- The Loop 110 in Chicago, IL (July 5, 2025)
- Pennzoil 250 in Indianapolis, IN (July 26, 2025)
- NASCAR Xfinity Series Playoff Race in Martinsville, VA (October 25, 2025)
"This is the biggest partnership with Toxic Waste yet," says Poole who sleeps with a Toxic Waste Drum in his bedside table. "To me, it's more than a sponsorship. I feel so close to the Toxic Waste brand." The excitement can surely be felt on the track with fans roaring as the uniquely designed, vividly colored Toxic Waste car whips past them. Fans continue to rave about the brand off track as samples from the Toxic Waste brand are given out at racetracks across the country.
With the company headquartered in the suburbs of Indianapolis, racing has always been part of the DNA. "We have always dreamed of seeing a Toxic Waste car on track at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway," says Laura King, president of Candy Dynamics. This dream became a reality in 2023 when the brand partnered with Poole for a single NASCAR race in Indianapolis. In 2024, Candy Dynamics sponsored Poole for The Loop 110 as part of the Chicago Street Race. "The atmosphere at this race was electric, and we knew we needed to pursue it further," continues King. Candy Dynamics has faced amazing success with Brennan, growing the reputation for the daring brand within the fast-paced, enduring sport.
