The number of people wearing a Michelin shirt at an IMSA weekend significantly outnumbers the number of actual Michelin staff. Depending upon the scope and scale of the event (Daytona being the largest, for example), the number of JACKSON associates that support and execute Michelin's needs in public relations, social media, motorsports marketing and event operations fluctuates:
- 2–4 Social content creators
- 2–5 Motorsports marketing support staff
- 11–25+ Michelin Tire Workshop crew members
