ESPN's Nascar Now stated Polaris will...

Pick up 1/3 of the Beam races next year... So 1/9 of the season.. Whats that 3 or 4 races... They also commented on how both Jim Beam and Jack Daniels announced there departure at the same time... Repeated Kid Rock news. Robby was quoted that his dad suggested he always have at least 3 sponsors so the departure of one does not kill the program. Good Advice Baja Bob...

That was a Sauza Green car. Which I believe is a Fortune Brands/Beam product. I still have it Tivo'd can remember the show's name. Someone will though. They were following Robby on several episodes until Greg Irwin left.. Then they never went back

One thing about Robby is the guy can come up with sponsors. He may not be the most talented driver turning left on Sunday's but he is a great PR guy for any company he is sponsored by...

Go cheer for Kyle Busch. Robby, like Brett "The Hitman" Hart, is "The Best is, The Best there was, and the Best there ever will be."

But, I do agree with you that Robby is great for his sponsors.

Just played by by DVR from Nascar Now, said that Polaris was signed on for 33% of Jim Beam's schedule (6-7 races).
Also said that Robby was ready to go next year and that he plans to be around a long time as an owner/driver!

GO RGM!

From Scenedaily.com:

One thing that could help Gordon is if the Indianapolis 500 starts earlier next year, allowing a driver to do both that race and the Sprint Cup Coca-Cola 600 on the same day.

“I have a sponsor that I talked to today that said they would take Indy and Charlotte at the right dollars today,” said Gordon, who has extensive experience in open-wheel cars. “They’ve already told me that. If Indy changes, I think you can count me in it - with a new sponsor, a different sponsor that’s not on my car today.”

Here's hoping the start time gets moved!
