Races/Sponsorship Update?

Has RGM issued any update on sponsorship and planned races? Initially RG said "part-time". Have things changed i.e. improved? Are they still looking at having to miss any dates?

Latest report from Penske said Mobil 1 was looking for another team...

that was a Jayski comment added, not a direct quote from Roger,but hopefully they stay in the sport as a sponsor.More companies that stay in the sport, the better.

That would be nice but theyll probably go for one of the "big teams"

When I was interning there in the marketing department, the one day someone from RGM ( I wont use names) saw that a sponsor was leaving a team. As soon as he saw that I was instructed to do a car for them. I believe the thinking was its always worth a shot, and with Robby Gordon you get exposure in areas other than Nascar as well.

Toyota and mobil have a joint technology development deal and rumors are that Mobile will in conjunction go to a toy team next season. Mobil 1 is now the official oil of TRD.

That explains why Penzoil went to Penske. Penske and Mobil 1 were together for years. Any idea if Mobil 1 will sponsor a Toyota team in the future? My money is on a Gibbs car.

I dont think ExxonMobil really has a huge international presence, however if they want that, no better way than with Robby Gordon.

A company like a BP (they could use Castrol in NASCAR, since i'm sure they couldnt use the actual BP brand to sell gasoline with Sunoco around, Chevron(Texaco) would probably be a better fit though globally. Especially if Chevron/Texaco wanted to get back into motorsports.

Its really too bad a company like Mapei left RGM, a great international company that really fit in with the global appeal of a Robby Gordon.

Mapei didn't leave RGM. they are still on the B post. I think they have a race or 2 as the primary.

Even better! The logo is so small I had assumed they had left.

TOG, I was going to say ,you'll find it just below the word TOYOTA and above LINCOLN WELDERS on the B-pillar and on Robby's MONSTER driving suit,right sleeve just below MAC TOOLS.
