All Purpose NASCAR Thread

Rosie's back. I'll have her ground your ass.

I agree on the basic point of trucker caps. But Krista is gold.

 

It's not as deep as spup's or Bubbler's, I don't think.

If you ask me to change it, I will.

 

Done. But I don't know how many others will see it on this thread.

 

FYI: Burton beat the Busch race. Again.

 

Richard Childress can't win for losing: he's finally succeeding again on the track and now, his sponsors are having issues. There's the Cingular thing and now, according to Jayski, Sunoco is not only still pissed about Shell being in NASCAR, they're thinking about suing (get this) the 15,000 gas stations that carry Shell signage with Harvick's likeness on it. Un-fucking-believable. Who sits around and thinks of this shit?

BTW, in other idiotic NASCAR sponsor news, it looks like NASCAR acquiesed and allowed Robby Gordon to carry the Motorola decals on his car today. So when he wrecks on lap 30, we'll see a crumpled-up Motorola logo...

 

You mean like the way Alltel has changed its imaging (logo and colors)?

Kind of like the Yankees winning the International League.

 

Fuck Sunoco. Fuck Nextel.

Sunoco, if they want Harvick's image on their gas stations, could've ponied up another $20 million per year. If Kevin Harvick were Robby Gordon or Dale Jarrett, they wouldn't care about that image on the gas station. Since he's the 500 winner, they can jump on the bandwagon.

Fuck them.

 

I was actually very surprised that NASCAR allowed that. NASCAR didn't say anything when Childress inverted the Cingular colors, but I'm assuming it's because that was the same color scheme and same logo. As anal as France and Helton are, though, I was definitely surprised to see Newman's new scheme.

BTW, for anyone watching the pre-race show on SPEED, anyboyd else catch the use of the South Park montage song during the Matt Kenseth flying with the Air Force segment? Good stuff...

 

Pretty much my thoughts on that. Sounds like yet another frivilous lawsuit to clog the courts. If your beef is with NASCAR, then take it out on NASCAR. Shell is completely within its rights to use the driver's likeness any way they see fit in order to promote its products. Fuck Sunoco...
