Jayski downsizes the images. The original is probably much better - at least it was for the Operation Homefront render. I'm still waiting for the press release to show up on RG.com with a link to the hi-res image.

Yep, that's what it looks like. And they have sponsored Robby's offroad stuff in the past:

From Robin Miller's open wheel mailbag www.speedtv.com

Q: I am mad, frustrated and confused! Paul Tracy runs fourth in his debut so why no Sonoma? I have read that he needs to bring his own sponsor, I thought he had one. Where is Monster Energy drink? Sounds like conspiracy to me. Let’s see… An extremely popular guy comes to the track and with no practice beats 90% of the field! If one of the top teams don’t pick PT to drive next year, then this isn’t about sponsorship it about closing the best driver in North America out!

Shanks in Florida

RM: Don't think it's anything that sinister. TGeorge ran PT because he had Subway of Canada as a sponsor and he was hoping to get them back for Detroit and Chicago but it's not going to happen. Of course it sucks that somebody as colorful, popular and successful as Tracy is not driving full-time and we were hoping Monster might step up but I see they are sponsoring Carl Edwards for three races at $2.5 million instead. Tracy turns 40 soon and it would behoove the AGR boys to make sure he's in a good ride for 2009 because Toronto will be empty without the "Thrill from West Hill."

Carl Edwards??! WTF??!

Robin Miller is a dumbass. SUBWAY is sponsoring Carl Edwards for three races at $2.5 million.

I believe he is refering to Subway sponsoring Edwards for three races. Edwards announced Subway as a sponsor for three races in 2009 and an associate sponsor for the remaining........

Monster is real good about updating their website, but there is nothing about the California deal on the monsterenergy.com site. Not even a little text script.
