CBJSprague24 posted:Jeff Gordon will be sponsored by Panasonic at Sonoma and/or New Hampshire. Scroll way down for the paint scheme: Mobile computers are allowed as a sponsor (computers that are compatible with AT&T and Verizon service, mind you), yet a wi-fi tablet marketed towards children isn't allowed to sponsor the 40 car. Typical NASCAR.

LASTCAR posted:One of the all-time best schemes, and it came together quite by accident. Davey didn't even have a sponsor when he qualified outside-pole at Daytona in 1987, so the car looked just like this without the Havoline graphics. But once they added those logos, it went together perfectly. I thought the story was that Havoline was in talks to sponsor the 28, but it wasn't quite a done deal yet, so they waited to put the logos on. Either way the scheme is perfect.

He left Richie Wauters' team to move to his dad's Athenian Motorsports team (which is the team he's been running Nationwide with), and I'm assuming it wasn't a clean break-up since Wauters hasn't been seen since and Athenian didn't end up with the 5's owner points.

Peanut President posted:Yes I'm sure KK is stupid enough to get himself fired loving Gordon out of a title. I'm sure there's plausible deniability in hanging him out to dry at Talladega or something. I see nothing at all wrong with what Gordon did, mainly because I find it silly to think that a driver should do anything that hurts his chances of winning. Some Random rear end in a top hat posted:Hamlin fined $125,000, crew chief AND car chief suspended for six races, AND docked 75 driver and owner points NASCAR looks like a genius because they levy a huge 75 point fine to show that "they're not messing around" knowing that once the chase rolls around it literally means nothing.

JWT was transported to a local hospital after a crash in ARCA qualifying. Venturini Motorsports says that if he's unable to race they will just S&P with another driver. I assume the same applies to the truck deal. Also ARCA will have spec motors next year that are optional.

kidcoelacanth posted:How the gently caress is Newman 5th in points I actually had this conversation earlier today. Before looking at the points if someone had asked me where Newman was in points I would have guessed around 12th or 13th. I think with the points standings being virtually worthless teams are willing to throw everything at a win and risk a bad finish (especially if they're already locked into the chase) which allows someone like Newman to Crafton his way into the chase.

gret posted:It's not that there's no interest in sponsoring two of the biggest household names in NASCAR, it's that there's no one interested in paying the astronomical sums HMS is asking, right? Yeah, National Guard is paying about $32 million for 20 races of primary sponsorship. That brings a full season of sponsorship of Dale Jr to almost $60 million which is ridiculous. The sponsorship bubble is ridiculous and needs to be popped.
