- I AGREE Joe,..
But golly fellas I was only 'funnin' ya. HONEST.
My comment was 'tongue in cheek' -meaning; "I don't care 'cause they dont
interest me in the least."
You see, Once upon a time when NASCAR meant STOCK cars, wayback in 1964, I
held a NASCAR mechanics license which you hadda have to get in the pitsand
I was on a pit crew...
Back when it was good.
Now ? Bah! It's all farce. Smoke N' Mirrors. ALL
manipulated to "maximize" profit.
It ain't 'SPORT' no mo'
Gimme LSR anytime. -Hopefully WITHOUT ever seeing 'major sponsor' BIG
BUCKS
Big bucks corrupts.
Don't 'believe me ? Just look at the U.S. Gummint. :- (
HAPPY HOLIDAYS TO ALL... -and a better year, next.
Cheers,.. -it's your pal, "Dirt Track Doug"

Doug; It,s just idle curiosity. we are talking about a very large amount of
money here. I saw Junior Johnson on TV talking about approaching RJR for
sponsorship money when they were put out of TV adds. They liked the idea and
asked how much $$$. Junior said he was looking for $200,000. RJR said they
were looking to place $600 million over 5 years. That's when they got turned
on to sponsoring the whole series. Besides I am a past shareholder of RJR
and interested in how they are doing.
