I had heard Starbucks was going to replace Winston and then of course
it would be the Coffee Cup Series.LOL Seriously ,I'm sure the new
politically correct Nascar is glad to not be affiliated with Winston
anymore as smoking is no longer cool Steve Paradise

Alltel and Cingular have been grandfathered into the contract.  No new
wireless companies can sponsor cars and if Alltel or Cingular leave they
can't come back.

Pepsi is giving away a billion $$ in a contest. Maybe Mike Helton can chug a
few bottles and win. Hmmm. Nascar Helton Cup series for the next decade.....

Hi Guys....

Despite what a few of you suggested, I was not trying to be cute, a
"know-it-all" or a "troll" about this information.  Considering the source
of the information, it was possible that it wasn't widely known (the
specifics) and when I came in here and saw no recent discussion about
it......I thought maybe I should not reveal what I had been told earlier in
the day (in a meeting, at Sears Point....included were two SMI management
and three NASCAR officials).  I actually thought about just deleting the
post.....but I thought maybe a few people do know...and if the correct name
is revealed in the string......then great!  My "purpose" was to get the news
out and garner some discussion about it....and that would have worked just
as well as my saying the company name (and it did).

And, to those of you who took this wonderful opportunity to get a few "jabs"
in at me (again).......I say this to you, "Bite me!"  LOL.......

Later guys....

Tom

For those of us outside the USA, no doubt they will continue to be known by
the same term as we've used for the past ump*** years - "NASCAR" cars.
