I really like what RGM is doing with Johnny Sauter and Scott Wimmer running the cars. Johnny is an aggressive racer much like RG who has been pretty badass in the trucks and Wimmer has had plenty of COT experience testing for RCR. I wouldn't be surprised if Wimmer ran better this week than Robby has all year on this type of track.

Since there isn't a bull run thread yet, is this anything like the bull run on speed channel.

And. I read somewhere there can be no energy drink sponsors.

Not that it matters one iota what I think....but, I'm really starting to like the way this SPEED deal is shaping up. There is a post about a short course sponsorship, Bull Run activity, Dakar, Nascar, SCORE, what's next?

Taking some eggs OUT of the Nascar basket just makes sense. Viewership is declining, many sponsors are pulling out and the cost / benefit equation just seems off kilter. (based on recent sponsor moves)

The idea of running the hummer..er Jeep in the Bull Run is sure to generate interest in the Dakar / SCORE events.

I don't have any idea how much it costs to run some of the Rally races - but that sure would be fun to watch.
