Look, I know TS and KK have connections through Nascar. Lucas is no stranger to racing and honestly, I like thier owners apreciate what they give to the sport and support them when I can.

I've seen teams get big sponsorships for short terms, Im just wondering why some owners and drivers aren't able to tap into some of these mulit million dollar marketing companies and keep em.

Do they have to be a race fan to do so or do they feel their return on investment won't be realized?

It just amazes me the amount of money some companies will spend on airwaves and WWW's but not on something solid, In your face as Sprint cars are.

To this day I still see the FRIDGEDAIR (SP) Car vividly in my mind. The Q car. Even the old ALAN KNOTT Honda cars and Valvoline cars of the past. That sticks more in my mind than from some 30 second TV add.

This is not a slam on anyone. I as much as anyone apreciate anyone GIVING TO THIS SPORT.

Chuck, Just Wonderin why the GE, FORD, BOSCH ect names aren't all over this sport?
