Investing in races

A lot of companies have invested a lot of money in racing, trying to gain a name and actually also as a marketing stunt for their cars.
Nascar back then was racing with cars looking a lot like stock cars and they had this statement: 'Race and win on sunday, sell on monday.'
Will it actually be possible to invest or even develop parts for raceteams and, according on their performance, grow or decrease your sales and thus marketshare?
