Mikey might also lose his TV gig over this. Doubt it. Publicity = good.
And in NASCAR this type of publicity isn’t “bad”. I fact, I bet it'll boost ESPN / SPEED channels ratings. I want to see what Mikey has to say now– must see TV!! LOL!!
Perhaps. I depends on how Mikey handles it, the extent to which he was involved, and what he says going forward, especially on the
Inside NEXTEL Cup show. Also, the "any publicity is good publicity" is a western concept. Put on your multi-culti cap and consider how that comcept might seem to the Toyota honchos. Toyota has been talking tough so I suspect they aren't thinking the publicity is good.
If this turns out to be a rogue employee, Mikey should do his qualifying runs with the guy strapped to the hood. If the fingers point upward, Mikey could lose the whole deal. Either way, there will be blood on the garage floor.
