i was just looking at the photos from the oval nationals and saw a couple with the hoffman car with "Ralph's" on the hood...........is that the west coast equivilant of Kroger????? are they partnered up on a business level??? just curious......i do remember "Ralph's" sponsoring richie hearns indy car ride at the conception of the irl..........

don't get out much now do you throbert?

Google is our friend...

Ralphs and Krogers are on the same team. When in California, and maybe Arizona, Ralphs is the logical sponsor to have on the Hoffman #69.

This week we will have Fry's on the car, the Kroger subsidiary in Phoenix.

....and hopefully we'll see that in the Victory Lane photos, Rob...:thumb

Rob, with all of the money I have given Fry's restocking my kitchen since returning to the Phoenix area a month ago, looks like I am helping to support that sponsorship. Wish you all the best while racing in Phoenix.
