So around a million? How long does that last? A season?

[glock rocks]

That's for a racing car. A winning car is a whole nother matter.

[tubebender]

Millions if you want the driver to mention you after he wins the race. There are a lot of "sponsors" on most cars and the cost depends on many things including how well a driver and team is performing and what spot your name goes on...

[glock rocks]

I really don't know how much it costs, other than it's a whole bunch. Sadly, the days of the Kulwiki bootstrap teams seem to have gone by the wayside. I'm sure an answer is out there on Google somewhere, unless someone here knows.

[glock rocks]

Thanks Tork. I was having an I'm only the bouncer moment there.

[WSGilcrest]

From here.

Most owners will quote a price of $15 million to $20 million dollars annually to run a single-car team (running two cars doesn't necessarily double that figure, as many of the resources are shared between the two teams). That is up from $9 million to $12 million just five years ago and $2 million to $8 million 10 years ago.

[glock rocks]

Thanks!

Bling squirrel finds nut. Not a Flash fan (a'tall) but that really stank.

[don-o]

Blind (I don't even know what bling is - and my son won't tell me)

[GRRRRR]

M ornin g all...Sunday RaceOVER Observations...

I hate waking up

STILL PO'ed!

Is that a Haiku?

Where's the corned beef hash and eggs?

If the 24 Car is NOT in the Race for the Chase, I will not be a happy camper when we go to Charlotte in OCT.

Spose I'll have to pull for the 6 Car. 2+4=6, have to modify my FlashWear with a Sharpie.

Unnnngghhhh--Post race depression setting in again. This can't be happening. Maybe I should be a Multi-Car Fan?


GO TO the WaHoo Nascar Site, read and respond to Margolis and Bonkowski Articles, click at the bottom and ask them to comment on the FLOOD of FoxAds at the end of the race!!!

It's DNF's---Letarte to the REAR!!

I bet Boris was leaking in his firesuit on that restart!

I'll be in Germany next weekend...so ya'll don't miss me too mush.

In typical yellers-at-a-plate-finish fashion, there has been a change in the latest unofficial results. Move Kenseth up 1 spot to 5th and Sadler down to 6th. That also moves Sadler out of 18th in the point standings.

[steveegg]

Remember, the beer is quite a bit more potent over there, even if they do serve it warm.

[GRRRRR]

LOL--yeah, warm beer, hot servers...good thing I don't consume that stuff anymore. I think I used up all my alcohol points some years ago! (Hic!)

JOLIET this weekend...flat cookie cutter track. Been there ONCE. They do not allow ANY FOOD OR DRINK into the track. ONE unopened water bottle...they force the fans to buy their overpriced fare. I will NEVER go back there again.

[steveegg]

Not to mention they still require you to take the IRL and ARCA weekends as well. Say, isn't that a Brainless-run track?

[don-o]

corned beef hash and eggs?

Egg omelets - onion, green pepper, bacon cheese

And I do not know haiku,
do you?

Now there's some poetry!

[GRRRRR]

Yep, Bill France and Tony George, ISC Track...total idiots.

[tubebender]

Now that I have had a few hours to reflect on my misfortune last night I am prepared to hit Amy's Diner and OD on Corned Beef Hash and Eggs and if that doesn't kill me I'll have warm Apple Pie and Ice Cream dessert washed down with a Amaretto Chaser!!!

[SouthTexas]

Done, for whatever it's worth.

Not a happy camper here either. Far too many commercials, far too little racing. Hope fans at the track enjoyed it since FOX didn't bother to show viewers very much in their broadcast. Seems they are forgetting just who "brung them to the dance".

And then there's Flash. :(

[GRRRRR]

Yeah, life goes on...Watching the Ladies USOpen Glof. I will take a hint from these lady golfers...they ALL have such a nice smooth, even and TEMPO on the back swing...no jerking the club and they initiate the downswing nicely too.

They let the club head do the work! Such nice swing planes.

The restrictions for coolers at TMS are 14 X 14 X 14 and this is not really enforced. This size will fit under the seat and not restrict all those walking back and forth in front of you, however, seems I always have to step over ones that don't. Uncle always packs us enough food to feed a small army. No restrictions on what you bring in, just no glass containers.
