Well... that's what happens when the economy stinks for as long as it has (years and years). Sponsors have to make tough decisions, and sometimes... move on.

It seems that Tony has really matured since becoming an owner, and as he said... it will be a great opportunity for some other company.

But who?
 
I would love to see him get sponsored by Old Spice again, the commercials were hilarious and the potential for future ones would be great.

Its a bad year for SHR though, the #39 lost Army for next season.

Just saw this quote & couldnt help but comment.

Did you see him grab Harvicks wifes rear end over the weekend? (YouTube it). Yeah, he's matured all right / LOL

Did he ever explain that anywhere??!

I mean she IS hot, but I hope that was a (albeit VERY inappropriate) joke on his part.

OK, THANKS, that's what I thought (and given that EVERYONE is in on it, it is NOT "inappropriate" AT ALL).

^^^Just because they were all "in on it" doesn't make it right

You wont see Roger Penske or Chip Ganassi performing at that level of foolishness

Anyway, Even at 40+, some of us have no limits

I thought it was the funniest thing I've seen in years.

They followed it up with the video (that was a few years old) of Tony grabbing Kevin Harvick's butt...
 
Tony has had a great relationship with the Bass Pro Shops people for many years. They have been loyal to Ganassi/EGR but that deal is ending. Bass Pro sponsors Tony's sprint car teams currently. Do not be surprised to see Bass Pro on the #14 next season.

Sponsorship for the #39 is a concern. Congress is forcing the armed services to cut back on marketing expenses, so NASCAR sponsorships have to end. You may thank your elected officials for that. Gene Haas could fund the team out of his pocket but he shouldn't have to.

Biggest concern to me is Danica Patrick and Go Daddy. The company was sold and has a new ownership team in place that does not like the sexually supercharged ad campaigns of the previous regime. That's changing now and will continue to be downplayed. If Danica is not a part of the new Go Daddy marketing plan, why would they continue to sponsor her in NASCAR?
