The top 3 auto manufacturers are scaling back BIG TIME on NASCAR Sponsorship.
With automobile manufacturers struggling to survive and their $10,000,000.00 contracts will probably NOT be renewed.
I was told that Sunoco has been donating ALL of the fuel for all of the NASCAR Races as well. I'm not positive this is totally true but it wouldn't surprise me one bit.
Here comes the Depression Folks, especially if you're a big NASCAR Fan.
I like NASCAR but I'm not about to feel sorry for any of them. Maybe it will cause the teams to go back to racing "stock" cars and shut down the monopoly of the "Big 5" (Roush, Hendrick, Earnhardt, Gibbs & Childress).
ReplyDeleteYesterday I had to defend my "Member's Only" jacket, and now my beloved NASCAR. What in tarnation is this world coming to? I have been saying for years there has been a conspiracy to kill off my beloved sport by insisting that practically all racers must go around the track (all day) "to the left." If you support John McCain, join me in lobbying for these races to start going the "right" way, THE AMERICAN WAY, from now on!!! Has anyone seen my Lee Greenwood 8 track?
ReplyDeleteTHATS FUNNY JOE FORD JUST SIGNED ANOTHER 5 YEAR DEAL W ROUSH RACING WHERE ARE YOU GETTING YOUR INFO?
ReplyDeleteIt's like everything else, the good ole boys sport was exploited into a money thing.We went from STOCK cars to Nascar approved cars with everything the same but the engine and nameplate. MONEY MONEY MONEY,thats what a shame, but thats what won the races!! Can't do a damn thing without the all mighty dollor playing a role!! Whe are going to hell in a hand basket!! What's next NFL.??
ReplyDeleteI don't believe anybody in any sport is worth the money they pay them.
ReplyDeletenot when we pay our teachers, firemen and public servants sub standard wages!
ReplyDeleteThere was money earmarked to the bailout bill for Nascar. What they spent it already?
ReplyDeleteSUNOCO doesn't "donate" any fuel. It's a tradeoff for advertising.
ReplyDeleteThey should have scaled back the racing years ago. Nascar is a joke. They gave up racing traditional cars long ago. They should be stripped down versions of off the shelf products. The fuel they consume is foolish and the ticket prices are rediculous. Its well past time NASCAR had its clock cleaned!!!
ReplyDeleteNASCAR is a mere shadow of what it used to be,despite the fact it is much larger now.I can recall as a kid in the 70's before all the commercialization of the sport it was affordable and one did not need gobs of money or the "right connections" to get into it.
ReplyDeleteReese Bobby...a Members Only jacket?WTF?are you the only member left?roflmao.Don't feel bad I still have BETA movies in a closet somewhere.....
Who gives a crap in today's world about something as trivial and meanless as "left turn....straight....left turn....straight.....".
ReplyDeleteGet an effing grip!
See what happens when they allowed Toyota to sponser cars?
ReplyDeleteNascar is all about money and doesn't care about values!
