Those two races happen six month apart for one. And for two sponsorship dollars can make anything happen most of the time. A few years ago the cola wars did heat up though. Coke sponsored six different cars for the Pepsi 400 to try to get one of their cars into victory lane. The winner was Jeff Gordon in the only Pepsi car out there, lol. the france family can do anything they want. and in this economy i don't think they care who the sponsorship dollars are coming from. The sponsors of these races are sponsoring the races, not the track.
ZREO??? lol!!!
I know what you meant anyway. ISC is owned by the France family, which owns NASCAR. They can pretty much have anything they darn well please. : ) NASCAR, and ISC are basically two different organizations, run by the same people.. ISC owns the race tracks, and it's a publicly traded corporation (NYSE), and the France family holds the majority of stock, as well as Roger Penske..That's who decides who's money they will take for what kind of sponsorship for the tracks.. ISC owns Daytona chooses Pepsi..
NASCAR is a sanctioning body, that's the guys that make, and enforce the rules of racing, and is not publicly traded, and entirely owned by the France family..
These people aren't stupid, so the sanctioning body (NASCAR), sells Coke Zero the right to name a race (must compete) so Pepsi is the "official soft drink of Daytona" as it's been since the first time I was there in 71, and Coke Zero buys the right to name the race (that used to be named the Pepsi 400) as the "official soft drink of NASCAR"..keeper read sister

Tony is driving Haas cars he will not be competitive for awhile. Robby might even do better than Tony. Tony is going to do well since he is essentially in a Hendrick car. Robby Gordon is the crappy driver he has always been, so he will get one top ten and that will be at one of the road course races. He is a perennial tail end runner. That's all he will ever be. Robby Gordon in the Toyota might do well this year. He has not been doing that good at all as of lately. I'll give him until Phoenix to get all the quirks out and then he should do good.
Smoke in a Chevy... This is going to be a wild ride for this guy this year. Look out NASCAR fans Smoke is coming to get ya. Smoke will be a master to contend with this year!! His a man on a mission. This guy is the real deal!! Smoke will be in cup contention this year!! Tony'll smoke 'em ! Robby'll do good too. what do you think? I think that Tony will win a couple of races and get into the Chase, he is that good of a driver.
As for Robby Gordon, I think that he will contend in the two road course races and will make his way into the top 25 in owner points. He has done a good job in keeping his car in the show. Robby, my favorite driver has driven Chevy, Ford, Dodge and now Toyota. I think he will do well in a Toyota, heck he does well in anything with wheels. With the Dodge last year I was surprised to see how well he did at Daytona and Dega. I hope that the toyota offers a better and more compatible engine package for him. He is great on road courses too, but needs to learn to stay out of people's way sometimes (I think he gets too cocky.)
Smoke, back in a chevy, thank gosh. I think he will be happy this year, even if he does not win a lot of races. This will be a learning year for him. I do not think he will win the championship but I do believe he will make the chase and have a couple of wins.
In conclusion, I am looking forward to both boys racing (though I prefer Robby in a Dodge) and I think they will have fun this year They will both do better than they did last year. Tony will benefit from a change of scenery and Robby will get a lot more support from Toyota than he was getting from Ford and Dodge.
4's FINE N 09!!!! You know Robby has really been trying many things to make his team work and this might be the right combination. Smoke? He is the owner now and has more things to juggle. I think he will be extremely happy back with the Chevy program but Won't make the chase I think its going to be a challenge for him with his temper. You know the Coach kept him reigned in all these years. We will see.sao paulo cpf

Ken Schrader or Bill Eliott my first is Schrader though orrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr... Kenny Wallace? bobby labonte ricky rudd I'm not real sure, but it sounds like Darrell Waltrip.
I might be wrong, but it's just a guest. Terry Labonte Terry Labonte? Sterling Marlin?
Just a Guess.... I have no Clue Who am I?
One of my first cars in Cup was heated by a NATIVE AMERICAN stove. This replaced our earlier sponsor who kept us warm after drinking alot of. After the stove went out we went flying with a new sponsor...little did we know how far those wings would take us!
After Jaws left Junior I reunited with one of my earlier sponsors...they made me warm again. But the success just didn't come in this car.
I drove for the first car in racing....but this Olds was old and just wouldn't run. I didn't hang around and went to hang out in the Sun with the owner who gave me my big break. That break led to breakfast the next year. But the sponsor was stolen by a top CUP team...my owner was devastated when I went with the sponsor. I hung around for several years got a trophy or two....and settled down and drove my original car # again thanks to the King loaning it out. Now I am a journeyman in every sense of the word. All I have is my helmet and the desire to go racing. You gotta a car and need a driver??? Well, I am your man.....and if the stars align just right....I am guaranteed to get you in the field. Who am I?????
Good luck and have fun with it! Best answer goes to the person who answers the most clues. Dale Jarrett- no
Terry LaBonte
Not sure about early sponsors
1984 Piedmont Airlines with wins @ Riverside and Bristol and his 1st Championship
1987 went to Junior Johnson and drove #11 Budweiser
1990 signed to drive #1 Skoal Bandit Olds but could only manage 15th in points
1991 went back to Billy Hagan to drive #94 Sunoco Olds and in 1993 the teams switched to #14 Chevys sponsored by Kelloggs.
1994 Hendrick stole Kelloggs and LaBonte signed on to drove the #5 Chevy and won 6 races in 2 years.
1996 won 2nd Championship
2004 borrowed #44 from the King
He all the most current Champions make the race, Terry LaBonte is guaranteed a former champions spot and will drive almost anythingbluetooth pci

they were very popular and entertaining, they will be around a long time. I hope so, they were especially cool during spin outs when drivers went over them (ex. Sadler at Atlanta). The only I don't like about it is Fox patting themselves on the back about it all year long selling tee shirts. C'mon now. I do believe they are, I thought they were pretty cool too.
Happy Groundhog Day to you too Storm :) Oh I am sure Digger will be there. They will probably be giving you a call to borrow one from your yard. All those little diggers out there. Yes, Digger will be back this yr, he is suppose to be better than ever, from the one promo I saw about him.. I think he is pretty cool.
Go Dale Jr & Hms Yep. Too bad they couldn't come up with a clever name for him. Yes, they will and also ESPN/ABC will most likely be too. From what I understand is that FOX/ESPN/ABC will be sharing production costs during the first part of the season to save money.
So Digger will be getting a lot more views. I don't see why not. He was a pretty successful figure in 2008 with all the merchandise surrounding him, it wouldn't surprise me should he show up in 2009 Of course they will. They made it such a huge deal that they had it, they wouldn't give it up even if it wasn't popular. But some of the shots they get with it are pretty cool, so it will definitely be around for awhile, Did you like the angles/shots from the cameras?
I thought they were pretty cool, especially the angles they captured the cars at.
Happy Groundhog Day! Yep. They will be making money off of the "Digger" t-shirts so you know digger has a job as long a FOX does. Speaking of digger is your avatar a picture of one of the gophers you got from your yard? I really hope so, some of the shot they get are awesome! Absolutely Storm. Like you said, those view's are amazing. Of course he is a part of the team now and I heard he is already in Daytona digging away and finding a good spotcard lan smc wireless

No, I think I will stay on the Jimmie Johnson bandwagon. I've been riding on it since 2002. Of course, I have always been on the Jeff Gordon bandwagon as well. Yea, I don't think I'm Ford material, I'm a full fledged DODGE FANATIC, and theirs NO way I'm giving up my HEMI!!!
But if Cousin Carl decides to come over to the DODGE side, we would DEFINITELY welcome him in!!! If he stands up to Kyle Busch again like he did last year at Bristol, I'm on!! I'll get on but David is still my favorite.
I just like all the Roush boys. i wouldnt pull for carl if he was JR's teammate
but it's still good to have you back
i really aint been here but its getting closer to racetime Count me out. I am with WinterGlory on this one. Not "Rowdy" enough. Whoo hooo!!! Nice to see you back Fluffy but I think I am gonna stay on the Reed Sorenson bandwagon(LOL), something tells me I am gonna have a lot more space over here. I have a feeling Carl is gonna get crowded and fast. Ah, fluffy glad to see you got your identity back. I do feel Carl is a threat for the championship.....but no I am not ready to ride a bandwagon.....I will still pull for my #43 as I always do.
Just an opinion as always. I am! But you better get on now, so we know who the real fans are. All we need is a conductor and a driver. Are you gettin' on? It's not "rowdy" enough for me.. I've always liked to see Edwards do well. I still like to see the 48 do better however. LOL! Nah, I'm too busy at the front of Denny's bandwagon :). I'm not a Carl Edwards fan so I will have fun not cheering for him this season. Nope not me . If he drove for any body but Roush i would !!! LOL
Great to see you back!!!!!!!!1 Hmmm... I think it would be best to wait until he wins a few ... at least 2. Wouldn't want to get on the wrong wagon. Plus I want to make sure he doesn't take out my favorite driver in the restrictor plate tracks first. LOL No thank you. That ship, excuse me, bandwagon has already left the station for me and I'm on board with the Blue Duece. Have a great season Fluff!! no I hate Edwards he tries to act like such a good guy but he is really a jerk. I used to be ON it, but I got OFF it once I saw the real him.air china ca985

Until Mr Hendrick says he is not the man for the job then he is the right man for the job. Rick knows crew chiefs and I have to go with what he says. So in closing yes he is right for Dale Jr until otherwise notified. My opinion only. He sure hasn't shown me that he is one of the elite Cup crew chiefs. He has the knowledge to make a great car stay good, but he can't make a good car great. Let alone a terrible car good. All I can say is he sure ain't his father. I like Eury Jr. God love him for what he deals with from junya nation. I think he's a good chief although I will never understand his move at Watkins Glen I think he's just fine. Every chief made questionable calls including the almighty Chad Knaus so if Jr is happy then yes he is the right man for the job. Why not question the driver sometimes? OOps thats a sin to go there. lol The sports announcers seem to think that Tony Eury Jr doesn't keep up with the track changes. It was announced all season last year on TV and I agree. Tony couldn't keep up with the track with the old car and the new car is even more difficult to get precise. All of the successful crew chiefs have stated that there is a fine window to work in that makes the car perform well. Tony Jr. just hasn't got what it takes to anticipate the changes that takes place in a race.
Dale Jr's most successful years were when his uncle Tony Eury Sr was a crew chief. Dale Jr does make some dumb mistakes sometimes. Example when he turned too early in front of Carl Edwards and wrecked himself and destroyed his chances of winning a championship a few years back.
Any successful crew chief in the past was always because he made small changes unless there was something way off on the car. Chad is way better at making those guesses ... Tony Eury Jr. is not. I think the world of Tony Eury Sr and Tony Eury Jr but if Dale is going to compete with the top runners for a championship then he's going to have to find another job for Tony Jr. He should have used Alan Gustafson as a crew chief. Tony will hit on some races but he just can't keep up with the track changes. He never has been.
There are some races Dale Jr should have won last season. Some was lost because of bad luck, bad sportsmanship from some other drivers, and some were Eury Jr's fault. I'm not just using last year as a basis for my opinion. I'm using Tony Eury Jr's entire career as Dale Jr's crew chief as a basis for my opinion. He can't keep up with the track. He's good at setting a car up but not as a crew chief and keeping a car up. I have to agree with Winter on this one. I feel like Rick knows what he's doing, and if things don't change, we may see Eury with another team.... Hes a good crew chief, because a couple of years ago Jr and Michael Waltrip switched crew chiefs and Michael did great with Tony Jr. But i definitely think Dale Jr should get a new crew chief, him and Tony Jr just argue cause Dale Jr gets aggrivated when the car doesn't drive right, and they start to argue. naaaaw i dont think hese ready..... I agree with winter, I think Jr would do much better with him, but I understand the loyalty there too. I'm just praying that he doesn't make the bad calls he made last year! Guess we will find out soon. For the job of crew chief, yes.
For the job of Dale Jr.'s crew chief, no. I think maybe he needs to Brad's crew chief in the Nationwide series, while Pops steps in with Junior. Tony, Jr. doesn't understand this new car. Jr Earnhardt won all but 1 of 18 races with Tony Eurie Sr, who is still winning races for the 88 Nationwide car...
With Tony Sr, Jr Earnhardt won as many as six races in a season (03), and had a shot at the Cup..
Since taking over for his dad, Tony Eurie Jr has not been able to get into The Chase most years...
What do you think?? Jr forget how to drive??headset protocol

plz cant we just stop this invading nonscence and get along? ok If my memory serves me correct, the football (NFL) section did the same thing a few months ago. It's just a bunch of people looking for something to do. Potentially air out their frustrations? I don't know, for I don't partake in this nonsense. But eventually they'll get bored and go back to doing their own thing in their respective forums. Just wait it out, and don't let them get to you. It's not us who doesn't cooperate, its them. hopefully they will find somewhere else to go soon. We all do get along.
Hey PURO, nice Eeeenglish, you kiss your mom wif dat mouff???
Cause she told me she likes it when you do, At least I think it was her, they all look the same from behind. Hair and ears.
Kids should not be allowed near the computer without parental supervision. Because sometimes people have no brains, that's why we can't all get along. Glad to see you have one though. This is one of those times where I shake my head at being a NASCAR and WWE fan, because this exact same problem develops. Why don't the trolls just leave us alone and do something diabolical on their own time? dude sorry for what my friends have done, it's just one person that's doing this I think so please forgive us They want to take over the NASCAR section, according to their Q & As. Wonder what they'll do with it once they get it? lol They'll get bored and leave soon enough. First, I'd like to address Puro Mexicano...You say NASCAR is not a sport? I'd like to see you try driving 500 miles at 200 mph, get out of the car, and THEN tell me it's not a sport!
Second, we CAN get along! :o) See! :o) I'm smiling! :o)
EDIT: Tony, you said it! srry dude, i have a thing againts nascar, frst nascar isnt areal sport, and second iam a proffecional karter, Cammeroon, so i hate nascar WE PLAY NICE IN NASCAR !!!!!!!!!! This is all bull stop.telnet ipaq
