I was afraid it was a literary version of "when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor" that everyone knew but me. Didn't want to assume that it was a tale told by an idiots, full of sound and fury, signifying nothing... and be accused of showing off
Not quite Bill, good NASCAR sponsorships are getting hard to come by. "Not in a series where Fortune 500, full-time benefactors are rare and consistent winners such as Hendrick Motorsports have had to hustle to parcel together sponsorship for NASCAR’s 14-time most popular driver, Dale Earnhardt Jr. That's in addition to mainstream crossover personality Danica Patrick experiencing severe sponsorship problems at Stewart-Haas Racing, and a title sponsor for the sport’s top series not being secured until December — and at a figure way closer to the cost of a competitive Cup team than the deal Sprint left." https://www.usatoday.com/story/spor...p-shows-nascar-falling-behind-pack/521976001/ SHR isn't the only organization on the NASCAR Cup circuit that still has plenty of races to fill over the 36-race schedule (plus two exhibition events). Joe Gibbs Racing's has 20 races of sponsorship unannounced this year. Hendrick Motorsports is still looking for 11 races overall, including eight for Kasey Kahne. Roush Fenway Racing has open races for both its drivers, Ricky Stenhouse] Jr. and Trevor Bayne. Roush Fenway Racing and Richard Petty Motorsports scaled down from two teams to one, and the two-car HScott Motorsports and one-car Tommy Baldwin Racing either shut down or stopped racing full time. http://www.espn.com/racing/nascar/s...teams-drivers-deal-unfilled-sponsorships-2017
