Swift Penguin Creations to Sponsor Qualifications Weekend at PRI Hoosier 500

INDIANAPOLIS – The PRI Hoosier 500 is excited to announce that Swift Penguin Creations will sponsor Qualifications Weekend at the 2025 event, including Pole Day on Saturday, December 6 as well as Bump Day on Sunday, December 7.

“We feel really fortunate for the opportunity to align with such a fun brand like Swift Penguin Creations,” said Tanner Watkins, president and co-owner of the PRI Hoosier 500. “To get the support, and hopefully help promote, the business that Destiny and Greg have built is really cool. Qualifications Weekend always brings drama and unforgettable moments at the Hoosier 500, and we are pumped to have Swifty along for the ride this December.”

Swift Penguin Creations was founded in 2023 by Destiny Erwin as a way to share her passion for crafts with the world. The company is a one-stop shop for unique, personalized gifts perfect for all occasions. What started as a joke after being waitlisted for Taylor Swift tickets, the idea came together quickly to produce stickers that were relatable and accessible for anyone to enjoy.

From fun, vibrant stickers and magnetic bookmarks to beautifully laser-engraved items, the military spouse-owned business specializes in creating high-quality, thoughtful products that bring a smile to your face.

“Swift Penguin Creations is excited to partner with the PRI Hoosier 500 as the sponsor for the qualifying weekend of The World’s Greatest Sim Race,” said Destiny and Greg Erwin. “Our family is deeply entrenched in the heritage and racing culture that comes with open-wheel racing, and to be on board for an event this large – and at virtual IMS – is a dream come true. 

“Our business has prided itself on bringing high-quality products to our customers with speed, and to be tied into a high-quality event and organization such as this is a perfect match. Just like our mascot ‘Swifty’, we expect to see 33 of the fastest drivers take the green and put on a show!”

Qualifications Weekend at the 2025 PRI Hoosier 500 will be held December 6-7. Primetime coverage from 7:00 to 8:00 PM Eastern will air live on the Performance Racing Industry (PRI) Facebook and YouTube channels for both Pole Day and Bump Day, showcasing the event to a subscriber base of nearly 700,000.
