They're not taking a win from Jr the fans would come unglued

 

[doozer]

Pretty sure the winner always go back to R&D. And then two randoms.

 

[gordonr24]

Gotcha. I've never understood typical protocol from nascar during post race inspection.

I wonder how many people joined the Guard because of a NASCAR sponsorship?

I hate to say, but there's gotta be someone.

Sponsorship is very big. It's why I go to Lowes instead of Home Depot.

 

[doozer]

I go to Lowes instead of Home Depot because it's closer to my house.

Zero according to a report from USA Today IIRC

Agreed. It's why I refuse to step foot in Lowes.

Ouch....that's a horrible rate to even make the grade

The Guard received 24,800 recruiting prospects from the program in 2012, documents show. In those cases, potential recruits indicated the NASCAR affiliation prompted them to seek more information about joining. Of that group, only 20 met the Guard's qualifications for entry into the service, and not one of them joined.

 

[YankeeVol]

Even had all 20 joined the $26+ MILLION dollars spent on the sponsorship would still be a waste

 

[gordonr24]

I never drink miller lite because it sponsors Brad K. I like drinking Bud though because it sponsors Harvick.

I hate that I love yuengling because of Dillon.

When Lewis Hamilton was with McLaren I ran only Mobil 1.

I run shell rotella t6 because it works better for my car.

I don't drink Pepsi because it tastes like ass.

 

[Nerd-Vol]

Agreed. It's why I refuse to step foot in Lowes.

I've read that you were banished for shoplifting all the #48 apparel. Hmm.

Off topic, but I think the vast majority of money spent on recruiting advertising is wasted.

True.

I'm gonna have to take some swings this weekend in order to increase my lead over my opponents

Wish they'd revamp the paint scheme. The Drive to End paint scheme is one of the worst in his career. The "firestorm" scheme which debuted in 09 is my favorite.
