What does UPS get in return for sponsoring a race car?
God, I'd hate to see the list that driver has to follow...

A target market not previously tapped in to, much like during the 2004 Presidential election when "Soccer Moms" became a demographic.

They could change the caution flag to brown and start calling the wrecks FUC@ UPS! All the races would start 30 minutes late but be expected to make up that time on track by skipping pit stops. If you did have to pit, any time spent on pit row would be deducted from your winnings. The crew chiefs would be required to call the drivers on the radio every few minutes to ask 'em how many laps they had left. The whole series would have to run retreads and regular unleaded. Winners circle would have one 6 pack of K-Cola to be shared by the winning team. The national anthem would be sung by somebody famouses brothers cousins sister. If you wrecked at all, even if it wasn't your fault, you'd be black flagged. Top prize would be an AMEX card loaded with brownie points. Any body got any other ideas?

Good one!!
You forgot....if they make driver follow EDD, he would probably be making all righthand turns. If he wins after 500 laps and sets a new track record, he will probably have to do 520 laps next time.
How about racing in the rain too. Maybe have Larry the Cable Guy do some TV & radio broadcasts !

Certainly you would be penalized for not winning, told to try harder, plus if you were winning a race, you have to stop in the "Management Pit" to go over safety procedures. Your crew could work on your car, but only for 12 seconds - after that you have to finish whatever they started yourself. Prior to replacing tires, there would have to be a meeting of ALL of the crews immediately - which would start 15-20 minutes later - to go over proper lifting, de-lugging, and grip methods, with some clever acronym (Begin Unless Lower Left Strut Has Inverted Teeth)....I could go on & on..

I just think Danica is hot, especially when she gets all pissed and goes after the other drivers.

You smell that?
[SIZE=-1][SIZE=-1]Among the hot but unconfirmed rumors making the rounds in the Sprint Cup garage this week are that Richard Childress Racing will land UPS as a sponsor for Clint Bowyer’s #07 Chevrolet. Multiple sources indicated that Bowyer’s car was the favorite to take the sponsorship over from Michael Waltrip Racing and David Reutimann. One source close to the negotiations said RCR initially offered UPS #31-Jeff Burton, 41, but the delivery company wanted a younger driver with whom it could create a long-term identity and Bowyer is just 29. Burton, instead, will be sponsored next year by Caterpillar.[/SIZE][/SIZE]

I hope this is true!! I am a big RCR fan with Harvick as my top guy (followed him at the local level in Bakersfield). I prayed and prayed for UPS to get on board with Burton thinking that Burton would be the perfect Jarrett replacement but I have been hearing lately that they are more interested in a young driver. Now I can start wearing UPS shirts! Go RCR!!

Very smart move...I do like Burton but he wont be around much longer so it wasnt a good choice if ups wants to stay in the sport awhile

Good. I'm tired of seeing the UPS car finish among the handicapped, the jalopy's and horse drawn race cars.

Ok here's the buzz.....RCR and Ryan Newman will announce a new team venture sponsered by UPS during the weekend of the Allstate 400 (aka Brickyard).
Or then again maybe not........

It would be appropriate to do that at the Brickyard since Ryan Newman has the personality of a brick.

Ryan Newman is going with Stewart to the new Stewart/Haas team. Thatsracin.com has learned from the Charlotte Observer today that Joe Gibbs racing will announce as early as Wed Stewart's release. Jack Daniels is rumored to go with Newman at Stewart's new camp. It's Bowyer for us and I am very happy about it!
