Elyshia Cope, Marketing Director

Read About Elyshia

Elyshia’s training in sales and marketing came at an early age when her entrepreneurial family began a nutritional products company and marketed them through trade shows and state fairs. Speaking in front of people was never a challenge for the confident teen and usually ended in top sales. Her passion for working for herself continued as she supported herself through college creating and operating a gym and dance studio for children which continued for over 19 years in three locations with satellite programs and hundreds of students. She continued to rep nutritional products for many companies including her family’s business, Bestlife International, which launched a new product, Maxelence, in 2011, and Elyshia was the marketing director. The new ribose recovery drink was highlighted on the #28 Nationwide car driven by Derrike Cope. This was Elyshia’s first event in NASCAR and she fell in love with the sport and later the driver. As she continued her nutritional programs the sponsorship acquisition and PR demands increased to full time sales and marketing when Derrike Cope Racing started a Nationwide/Xfinity team partially in 2012/13 and fulltime in 2014-2016. She has three lovely daughters and is currently the Marketing Director of StarCom Racing #00.
