I thought this was kind of petty.........
Responding to complaints from Sunoco, the official fuel supplier of NASCAR, the sanctioning body has been in discussions with Harvick's Richard Childress Racing team the past several days to address Sunoco's concerns over the branding of Shell-Pennzoil's sponsorship on Harvick's uniform and helmet.
In response to those complaints, Harvick can no longer wear the driver's helmet used in Sunday's race -- which featured a prominent Shell logo -- and his uniform had to be redone to include less prominent Shell logos, multiple sources confirmed.
Before Sunday's Daytona 500, team officials confirmed Harvick was asked by NASCAR if he would wear a jacket over his uniform during Daytona 500 introductions, which he agreed to do.

Did ya see where a GM VP wants Nascar to go ethanol or other renewable fuels...
GM executive, others urge NASCAR to explore renewable fuels..
FORGET IT NASCAR...
Shell is the SPONSOR!!! Too Bad 4 U!
Political correctness will ruin NASCAR like it ruins everything else. The drivers are some of the best paid product spokesbots known to marketing. Decadence is not welcome. But I LOVE racing!
I forwarded that to my uncle, the one I stay with when I go to the race in Dallas. He's a retired Sun engineer (30 years).
Wow. That is petty.
