Possible repercussions

tntbusco · 8/6/13, 3:24 PM

I know Tonys car owner probably won't be as upset as some owners would lol. But what about his sponsors? Think they might be upset? Just wondering. Still glad to have a real racer out there. Prayers for a quick recovery.

I wouldn't think so. People all over the country, even the world are talking about Tony Stewart today. Publicity is publicity. They pay him to put their name on his car. And boy are those companies getting exposure!!
Here's a list of sponsors if you didn't already know.

Those same sponsors underwrite all of his sprint car and midget teams too, so even though they aren't being broadcast to as many eyeballs, every time a TSR car makes an appearance at a local bullring it's exposure and goodwill for anyone who's got a sticker on the wing or sail panel...

I think it somewhat adds to Tony's status as a driver. Kind of a true outlaw. I'm biased as an open wheel fan, though.

I agree,, race fans I think appreciate the fact he drives anything anywhere. He is an outlaw. I am curious about he's injury. We see lots off accidents at open wheel races like tony had, did something come into the cockpit him to break him up, just rattling him around in there????? I'm a fan but not a racer so I'm a little ignorant who this happens

I just watch clip of accident I didn't realize there was a another car evolved
