PEP/AMP/NationalGuard81

The only thing that still puzzles me is the late trademark request for #28. A number with a lot of history,

Our electrons come from plain old natural gas, which we have an abundance of. Some however, comes from coal, thanks to the Jimmy Carter crew. He figured we would be more energy independent if we shipped our natural gas to New York and brought coal in from the Dakotas.

Hey wait, glock didn’t phrase it like that!

[WestCoastGal]

I’m really sorry no one took a minute to comment on my news....you all know how much it means to me. It’s disappointing to say the least.

Kasey, who gets carded everytime he tries to buy a beer?

[vox_freedom]

Just waking up here....
Now, about those folks on the right coast.

[flutters]

Congrats WCG! You think it’s Pepsi and what number? Do you have any idea? You follow thing so closely, I bet you’re so excited.

[Pete-R-Bilt]

how old is he?

is he old enough to advertise beer?

in Utah as a store clerk you have to be 21 just to sell it in a store otherwise an adult has to come do the transaction.

is it that way all over?

I saw one of the Home Depot tractor trailers headed north on I-91 here in Connecticut on Tuesday, towards New Hampshire.

“I WAS RIGHT!!

The announcement for Jr’s # and sponsor & paint scheme will be Sep 19th @ 12:30pm ET per CBL.!! One day after his new candy bar announcement.”

Sorry, I actually didn’t see your news until now. I will be very excited to see Jr.’s stuff! I didn’t know how long we’d have to wait, but it seemed like it would be a long time, so I wasn’t expecting it. Will the sponsor be Mt. Dew? It will be interesting to see how Bud does with KK, he looks so young!

[vox_freedom]

I’m really sorry no one took a minute to comment on my news....

And, it is big news!
And, probably first placed here on FR.
Thank you, WCG.

[vox_freedom]

I was just kidding about Kasey's age. While he looks younger, he was born April 10, 1980.

[WestCoastGal]

Thanks :)

The Mountain Dew/Amp part of Pepsi and the car # could be a coup #88.

WOOHOOO and....Finally, also.....they told me to stay tuned!!!

On Friday, it was announced that Wrangler jeans would follow Earnhardt and remain an associate sponsor on his car. The Earnhardt family relationship with Wrangler began in the 1980s when Dale Earnhardt Sr. drove a blue and yellow Wrangler car.

Buh bye DEI.
