It’s full steam ahead for the 37th Annual Lake of the Ozarks Shootout’s federal nonprofit organization and the world’s largest unsanctioned boat race. In line with building and cultivating new partnerships, the Shootout is pleased to announce its 2025 title sponsor: Lippert, a company with an extensively rich history in the marine industry, whose wake of innovation and engineering is as vast as the Lake of the Ozarks itself.
“We’re thrilled to welcome Lippert as the title sponsor of the 37th Annual Lippert Lake of the Ozarks Shootout Lieutenant Governor’s Cup,” said Shootout Executive Director Leah Martin. “Lippert’s commitment to supporting the boating community and its dealers by showcasing world-class products makes this a natural partnership for us as we continue to grow this incredible, three-decade-strong event.”
Lippert (through LCI Industries) has built a formidable presence in the marine industry by acquiring and integrating best-in-class brands, pioneering innovative products, and serving both original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) and the aftermarket as a whole. It is a leading marine supplier, offering engineered products such as power shades, anchors, bimini tops, steering systems, and other equipment to OEMs, dealers, and beyond. LCI Industries (NYSE: LCII), through its Lippert subsidiary, is a global leader in supplying engineered components to the outdoor recreation and transportation markets. "We believe our innovative culture, advanced manufacturing capabilities, and dedication to enhancing the customer experience have established Lippert as a reliable partner for both OEM and aftermarket customers," Martin said.
In addition to its strong marine presence through brands like Lewmar, Taylor Made, and SureShade, Lippert is proud to serve the Automotive and RV industries, both OEM and aftermarket. With trusted brands like CURT and Ranch Hand, Lippert delivers performance, safety, and strength across towing, truck accessories, and RV lifestyle products. The Lake of the Ozarks Shootout is a perfect stage to celebrate every part of the outdoor experience. This multi-segment support reflects Lippert’s larger commitment to the people and partners who live life on the road, on the water, and everywhere in between.
“The competition among racers this year is fierce, and the excitement from fans and the entire boating community has been overwhelming,” Martin said. “We’re looking forward to setting new records and creating even more memorable experiences at this year’s new host location. Most importantly, this partnership helps us continue to give back to the extent that we have in years past. The Shootout proudly supports dozens of local charities and emergency departments, with 47 recipients benefiting from last year’s event alone. We can’t wait to see what we can achieve together with Lippert and our amazing community.”
As for Lippert, well, they’re pretty excited, too. "We’re really excited to be the title sponsor of the Lake of the Ozarks Shootout,” said Jarod Lippert, CMO, Lippert, in closing. “This event brings together passionate people, and it’s a great way for us to support our dealer partners, manufacturers, and everyone who shares our love for the outdoors—whether it’s through Automotive, Marine, or RV. We’re proud to be part of something that celebrates what we all enjoy."
