That said, can HMS hurry up and dump kasey? Bring in Danica for a few seasons to keep a seat warm for Chase Elliot.

Kahne's contract expires in 2015. Let him walk and bring in Chase Elliot for 2016 or make a run for Kyle Larson (not sure what his contract currently is)

So was that win a plea from Roush, or an Edwards audition to jgr?

I will weigh in, I want Carl in top level equipment again. It will be good for JGR as a team. They have a great stable of drivers who are marketable, but I think Carl crosses over.

Bubba Wallace jr. He's gonna be a name. If he wins another race or two this season I say he is getting a Busch series ride. I want to see HMS poach him from JGR.

I don't JGR will let him get away.

I'm still surprised at companies that aren't full time:

Microsoft
Apple
McDonalds
Ups

It's interesting you mention Microsoft and Apple because they have the money to sponor a car and not really be hurt by the money they would be spending on it. I wonder what their reasoning for not getting into the sport would be.

Maybe they know what Red Bull knew? Red Bull has the money to run TWO competitive formula one teams. Yet they didn't find value in their NASCAR efforts. Mind you just one of their F1 teams cost more to run than HMS and JGR combined.

Very well could be the truth.

Target markets. Apple and Microsoft don't see NASCAR as a place to increase brand awareness.

If I'm a foreign beer, I'd invest in sponsoring a nascar team. Some of those fans don't know anything else but Budweiser, busch, coors, or miller.

Most Nascar fans wouldn't want to drink foreign beer.

It was crazy to see all the different kinds of beer at the Indy 500.

I'd want to sponsor a nascar driver. Fans develop a cult following even for it's drivers. You have people that only shop at Lowes because of their loyalties to Jimmie Johnson.
