It may help me but most time those companies have advertising agenice
that place those ads with mobile billboard companies and they will
only deal with the ones they have used before. Anyway what will be a
fair price for your answer. I just don't want too take a guess, and
find that they want try my service. I don't think I want too pay $100
for that answer right now. I have another question that I will be 
offering a $100 for. after I write the question good another so google
understand what I want too say. I am not a good writer. Thank You very
much

I can not begin to answer your question, but I do have some comments.
 
I used to sell advertising full-time, professionally. Although
billboards is a medium that I've never worked with, my experiences in
radio, print, and the Internet are relevant.

Basically your question is one faced my pro ad reps daily, when they
are prospecting and developing their own sales leads.

You mentioned NASCAR. If I were to pursue the NASCAR business, I would
first educate myself about NASCAR- the company, the competition, and
current marketing challenges in today's business climate. The next
step is to find the person who holds the purse strings for the
billboard budget. This could be a media buyer at NASCAR's agency. It
could be a marketing person within the organization. It could be a
"product manager" for the particular service, product, or item that
they are promoting on the cars.

The same process holds true for any advertiser that you know of that
does business with NASCAR.

In short, after years of success in the business, I am unaware of any
easy shortcuts to get at the information that you're seeking. Selling
advertising is a high-pressure business, and success requires great
drive, dogged persistence, creativity in finding the correct person to
pitch the business to, and strong and creative presentation skills
once you've established that contact.

Good luck! I hope that my comments are helpful to you.
