I say he passed with flying colors. You are the failure Dave. I don't think
you will ever get tenure.

You are right. There are far more over there. We get a few over here,
though.

probably got tenure because he was just another dumb jock hiding in the

I know I am right when I went to the IRL website and named those teams
without sponsors straight from the results page. The other teams had
their sponsorship listed.

Its also likely if Dave posted websites with photos of the cars on track
at the 500 in those colors then also might be right.

Yet that begs a rather unique question. Assuming Dave is correct, the
speedway had to have had the same photos (or better) and the same
information (or better) than those sites he listed. Why then did they
not list them as sponsors on their own page???

Hmmmmm Could it be because their was no money changing hands for the
exposure? Are these companies that other areas of the Hulman Company
does business with and were just doing them a favor by putting them on a
car? Could be a simple mix up but I kind of doubt it. If it were just
a mix up it would have been missing the sponsorship of a team or two and
not that many. We probably won't ever know but its an interesting question.

When you checked the offcial entry list or the box score
it lists the official entry of the car, along with its name.

When Penske enters their cars, they enter the Marlboro
Team Penske Dallara or the XYZ team enters the 'Polylube
XYZ Special.' That is how the car is put on the official
entry list or box score.

As you might imagine, there is a deadline for filing
the official name of the entry.

It's too bad Allan Pagan isn't here to give the full
details on this because I'm going off the top of my head.

There are sponsors who are very much aware of this deadline
and insist that the deal is consumated before the deadline
so the sponsor's name will appear as part of the official
entry.

Other sponsors miss the deadline, either because the deal came
together too late or they didn't care or know about the deadline.

As I remember the deadline, it gave the Speedway enough time to
paint the pit wall with the driver's name and name of the entry.

I apologize if this is a bit rambling. Commuting from San Francisco
to Washington DC has taken its toll this morning.

Oh, yeah. I'm sure this is the EXACT explanation. That would explain

cars get entries at thte last minute.

Exactly as I posted somewhere else. These "sponsors" aren't paying for
sponsorship. They are just having their names placed on the sidepods because
they have some affiliation with the speedway.

The deal is that these sidepods were blank until raceday. TG has them slap
on the decal and go racing. He has every right to do that, because he is
basically the one sponsoring the team. The company is basically getting free
exposure at Tony George's expense. I'm sure that those companies don't mind
doing business that way.
