A good start with having a new company partner with USAC for the title sponsorship. In order to continue to grow auto racing, all series have to find new sponsorships and many are looking outside of the traditional types of companies. In my opinion, they need to have a mix of old and new to try and bring potential fans into the mainstream of racing. The ranks of the hardcore, "old timers", is starting to thin out and we need new fans to fill the bleachers. As a fan, I know that I need to help by bringing new folks to the track so they can understand my passion. Someone did that for me so let's all lend a hand and encourage family and friends to join us. You might find the next hardcore fan needing a fix.

USAC is an equal opportunity money taker. I doubt these manufacturers would want to see all 3 decals on one car.
Perhaps it wasn't disclosed that the manufacturer's competitors are sponsoring in the same sanction?
I can't imagine that would last too long. No non-compete clause in those deals?

This board has a history of an anonymous anti-USAC member cropping up from time-to-time. I hope we aren't witnessing the reincarnation of the type of "fan" exemplified by folks of the ilk of an NJDMoney, etc.
You are off to a really good start there, anti-USAC-RacingFan. Joined this month, started one thread which goes right into negativity about USAC rules, and issued negative comments against USAC in your other 2 posts.
I have given USAC my share (perhaps at times more than my fair share) of crap over the years I've used this board, but it seems evident that you joined "with an agenda" for airing whatever anti-USAC feelings motivate your posts.

The CRA page now has the same Amsoil logo, no Lucas Oil logo.
