Anybody notice that there are only 3 sponsors of the Red Bull car? Goodyear, Toyota and Red Bull. From what I heard they had to fight pretty hard not to have to put all the logos on the quarter panels.
| wvallwheeldrive | 05-03-2006 01:09 PM |
You cannot sponsor a team that dosen't exist yet

The primary sponsor almost always gets the hood and the quarters, and, like wvawd said, all the associate sponsorships are missing because the team doesn't exist yet.

The money is not the issue. Again, from what I have heard.

NASCAR fans just dont get it... the car has absolutely NOTHING in common with the manufacturer model car.
NASCAR has such strict rules on what dimensions/weight, etc... a stockcar must be that they are all exactly the same build.
Formula 1 cars have MORE in common with their production models than NASCAR will EVER have. (Most F1 teams develop technology that is passed on years later to a production car company)
If you take off all of the stickers and paint, could someone REALLY tell what car it is?!?! I truly doubt it.

They're tube frame cars.
Have been for a long time.
Sticking a Camry sticker on the bodywork is no more misleading than putting a Lumina sticker on it.
Big deal.
Having Toyota in NASCAR really only signifies one thing: They're on the rise and the US companies are on the downswing. Toyota is building new plants in the US and the US automakers are closing them. If NASCAR became "NASCAR, Powered by Toyota" within 10 years, I wouldn't be suprised.

I think you are selling NASCAR Fans short. I am not a fan of NASCAR but I would have to believe that just about all of them know that Jeff Gordon's car has very little to do with their Jeff Gordon addition Monte Carlo. Basic shape and a bow tie. Thats about it.
NASCAR is a great marketing tool just like F1 or WRC or DTM or whatever. The tech is no where to be found in the roundy round bath tube series but exposure is huge.

Great news. I started paying more attention to Nascar after I saw a movie about Nascar in Daytona Beach, it wa sa 3D movie in the Speedway museum.
| WRXedUSA | 05-03-2006 05:25 PM |
Man, I thought there was going to be news in this thread.
| racerjon1 | 05-03-2006 05:35 PM |
For the car not having other sponsor stickers on it, it would be pretty easy if we were just considering the associate sponsors.. RedBull would just buy it all. (The Target Cars are done like this in the IRL, then Target sells/makes deals for the rest of the sponsors, trading shelf space and the like)
However.. the "clean" look they are going for are the lack of NASCAR contingency sponsors, those stickers you see behind the front wheel. All of the teams should run the same ones. Budweiser Sticker there means you are eligible for The Budweiser shootout if you win a pole, and the Bud pole $. If you don't have it, you can sit on the pole, but no extra $ or "extra" race. I think that the Petty Enterprises cars do not run that sticker, because they feel it promotes drinking and driving..
in the early 90s Penzoil wanted the same thing for the #30 Michael Waltrip car, and they had to try hard to convince the team to leave it blank. I think they matched by giving the team the $ they would have gotten if they had stickers.

Nascar doesnt seem to help the big 3 in car sales. The chevy monte carlo is one of Chevys worst selling cars. I would say WRC has more of a impact because they are street legal cars/ use the same factory shell and people can relate their own cars with the rally cars. Peugot 206 back when it won the wrc championship was the best selling car in Europe.

Agreed. I think they see it more as an overall brand marketing tool not the particular model. I am sure they sell more Silverados and F-150s based on their NASCAR efforts then Monte Carlos and Tauri.
I love series where the cars racing at least started life as the real production car. Speed GT/Tuner, WRC American LeMans etc.

Ghey. It would be funny to see a Camry in the Street Tuner class for Grand-Am racing, though. Heck, a Honda Accord won at Daytona.

At least a Legacy's rear wheels receive power, unlike all the other cars that "stock cars" are "based on."
oops, except for the Challenger....

Next thing you are going to tell me is that the Boston Celtics players aren't all from Boston and they are guys from all over who just happened to work for a franchise based in Boston.
