[QUOTE="Dutch Dawg, post: 93775, member: 4843"] Either that or the driver seeks permission from his current team owner to enter into talks with someone else. Most proven drivers are commited to mulit-year team contracts. Untill recently many drivers chose to remain with the same owner thru multiple contracts, due in part to a sense of loyality. Nascar fans are now witnessing a NEW transitional owner/driver period where the trend is for the driver to acquire a "sports agent aka leacherous* lawyer)" and seek the biggest monetary contract any owner will enable. Time will only tell....I suspect a result will be a future fan/driver loyality that becomes as weak as owner/driver loyality appears to be headed. Robert Yates/ Dale Jarret have been good to UPS with regard to brand/service recognition. However neither Robert Yates Racing nor Dale Jarret possess the ability to place the UPS logo within the winner's circle consistantly (that's being kind IMHO). If UPS were actually interested in backing a winning team, they would shed themselves of both Yates and Jarret. ...I believe many NASCAR fans actually stood around the water cooler Monday talking about Hamlin's FedX victory at Pocono last weekend and equating FedX with being a winning service provider based on that victory. We can argue for days about this, but that victory did indeed generate business this week for FedX. [/QUOTE]
