REI is a huge tree hugger group. Strong ties to Greenpeace etc... I doubt they would sponsor anythin motorsports related.

How about Cabela's? They are a big competitor of Bass Pro Shops. They sponsor the Iditarod.

That would be a photoshoped version of the Jim Beam Black car from '05-06.
Yes, I'm aware they were running a Chevy then, & that clearly says Ford.
Before anybody goes there, look at the headlights, those are all Monte Carlo.
Thats a sick joke JB7,& I mean the blue oval over the bowtie.
Given the sponsor though, maybe it's fitting.

@Slider..Too funny! LMAO

@Mike/WC77 very wise, grasshopper! It is a VERY POORLY photoshopped JB Black car from 05-06. I had to look in my HD archives as I had posted this as a joke back in the NOL days and the early days of robbynews.com

This seemed like the perfect thread to resurrect it!

A mixer or chaser for Jim Beam would be fitting, Bell helmets (if you're going to throw one, throw ours), Breitling watches
(since RG wears one).

How about airlines? Like a regional airline such as AirTran or Midwest Airlines (which are owned by the same parent) or something would be perfect....their target markets are the midwest and southeast--NASCAR country--and they are small enough that they could really benefit from sponsoring a NASCAR driver in terms of market injection and name recognition.

But the only one to utilize that space so far has been Southwest with the Sports Illustrated-wrapped plane advertising the swimsuit issue. And commercial aircraft can only been seen near to airports, plus you need top convince people to actually buy the tickets first.
