I'm confused...I'm here at the track watching happy hour and I don't see Hard Rock on Robby's car...should it not be there? Or are they going to wrap it later?

The car is wrapped just as it should be,with the correct primary sponsor, Jim beam, and the associates, Menards and Mapei. If hard rock wants to be on the car, then I am sure we will see the logo somewhere on Sunday.

ok.. sounds like it's not a huge sponsership.. but more of a scratch my back I'll scratch yours type of deal.. I read that RGM & team get free room and food while there is vegas.... sounds like a fair exchange for a decal on a wing endplate.
Umm and the car has been driving real poor, but on the scanner all I hear Robby and crew talking about is adjusting the track bar or the springs, nothing regarding engine--although the other bad Toyota engines mostly came from TRD too so one has to wonder if that is affecting Robby
I think any kind of sponsorship coming from Vegas casino's is alot, even if it was just rooms. All the casinos are really hurting right now and strapped for cash. I wouldn't expect to see that much more.
Front page of this website, left hand column, there is a Box that says " Atlanta Sponsor " , underneath it is the logo of the company sponsoring the race, aka Jim Beam. After this weekend, the next race will replace Atlanta , and then the next sponsor will replace Jim Beam. point is, thats where your race info will be, just like I did last year.
Obviously you aren't the only one who doesn't see my "weekly sponsor" info box. Guess many folks overlooked it. Guess I'd better re-structure the site.
