Anyone see this at Jayski's? I don't get it. You would think that Nascar would want sponsors. And just cause I see beer, cigarrettes or liquor doesn't mean I'm gonna take up smoking and drinking.

Now Sara Lee on the other hand...... ;)


#27 almost had a full sponsor: Barry Dodson was close to gaining sponsorship for the #27Eel River racing team driven by Kenny Wallace, but NASCAR turned down the liquor company that was offering to pay the bill for the season. Crown Royal, with its sponsorship of several fishing tournaments, was barred by the sanctioning body. Beer but not liquor sponsorships are allowed in NASCAR

Isn't beer and liqour sort of the same thing? Since when did sponsers have too meet certian requirements?

I thought it was Penthouse that they turned down?

Either way, it wasn't like they were going to show any women on the hoods. Remember the TV guide car with Sable of the WWF?

Martin, I guess they consider Crown Royal the hard stuff while beer isn't. But to me, it's all alcohol, so I can't see a difference.
