Account managers for NASCAR teams are considering trading their business cards for .357 Magnums. Going the “Stick’em Up!” route seems to be the only way to get someone to come off the hip.
In a market this bearish it’s hard to find sponsorship, even with NASCAR’s proven track record of successfully pushing products. Throw any other variable into the equation and selling goes from difficult to downright impossible.
That’s why I don’t understand why NASCAR hasn’t yet figured out a better way to deal with qualifying rainouts. Magically, you can qualify Nationwide and Craftsman Truck teams just hours before they race. But reschedule Cup qualifying with a two-day window? Impossible!
