Donut is America’s leading car culture brand. The team produces 100-plus videos a year for its more than 15 million combined YouTube subscribers and social followers. Its podcasts, Past Gas and The Big Three, are the top two automotive podcasts on Apple Podcasts. HiLow is the most popular and longest-running show on Donut’s channel. In this competition format, Donut’s cast is split into two teams that are each tasked with upgrading a car for a specific motorsport–one that is modded using the best auto parts money can buy and one that gets budget parts. Each individual upgrade is tested and reviewed along the way before the two cars go head-to-head on the track.

“We’re ecstatic to welcome Allstate to the Donut universe as our exclusive insurance partner,” said Aaron Godfred, general manager of Donut. “For nearly 100 years, Allstate has delivered affordable and reliable protection for people’s most prized possessions. At Donut, we know how much our audience loves the cars we build, take to the track, and test on the streets as well as how much pride they have in their personal vehicles. There’s no doubt that our flagship show, fleet of vehicles, and viewers are in good hands with Allstate.”

Production on the new season of HiLow will start in July before new episodes are published monthly starting in late August. The sponsorship will launch in May with custom content integrations across all of Donut’s platforms.

“Donut’s built an incredible community of car enthusiasts through innovative programming and a commitment to blending the romance of car culture with the practical, everyday advice,” said Dave Marsey, senior vice president of media and commerce at Allstate. “We’re thrilled to weave Allstate into Donut’s community and help support this shared passion.”

The partnership was orchestrated by Donut’s Director of Client Partnerships, Amanda Klein, and Allstate’s media agency partners at Starcom Worldwide.
