2009 Sponsors List

[DixonFan]

Hello All,

I thought that it would be interesting to track all the Sponsors for 2009. So I have put a list together for each of the Pro Classes and there respective Sponsor for 2009. If I have missed a driver please include it in this thread so we can update the information. Also if you know who the Sponsor of the driver is please include it in this thread so we can update the information as it becomes available.

Thanks,
Shannon

[rick]

In Funny car, didn't Don Shumacher sign Matt Hagen a few weeks back?

 

[Porkchop]

Arend will stay in with DHL.......Stevie will stay with Snap On,cause of all the promotional work he does for them......will be back with more info

 

[Porkchop]

Hagen=Shoe...TJ in AJ's Fueler....Bode,same story, same with Head

 

[Porkchop]

Matt Smith and Angie will both race,happy engagement

 

[Gutter Brain]

I didn't realize Old Spice was leaving Neff's car. Did I miss that announcement?

 

[Bobby Bennett]

You can put Troy Buff, Clay Millican, Jim Head and Mel Troxel in the racing list for 2009.

 

[Rajunz]

Matt Guidera full season with Mohegan Sun.

 

[camaro]

You can put Troy Buff, Clay Millican, Jim Head and Mel Troxel in the racing list for 2009.

Full Time ??

 

[Paul]

Full Time ??

As of a few weeks ago; Millican and Troxel, yes FT. The rest PT.

 

[Prix-Mo]

Jonny Gray teamed with Allen Johnson for 2009. He doesn't want/need sponsor?

 

[XPilot]

Arend will stay in with DHL.......Stevie will stay with Snap On,cause of all the promotional work he does for them......will be back with more info

DHL is closing the doors on their US ops. I think you might see Arend and Grubby looking for sponsors (unless Connie runs it out of pocket).

 

[The Counterfeiter]

Jonny Gray teamed with Allen Johnson for 2009. He doesn't want/need sponsor?

I think his team is "SCI Racing" - which stands for "Spending Childrens' Inheritance" - I'm sure there are some Maters who can relate to that -

 

[Nitrohelper]

DHL is closing the doors on their US ops.

They are subcontracting local service as they did before starting their own, DHL International (Connie) is still operating worldwide.
The word is that the F/C will remain yellow. Mac tools is gone as a primary on the red car.

 

[matt Smith]

Yes I think Mac Tools is gone from the dragster... I got the call from Mac last thursday saying they were done with most of the teams out there including myself...

Bob V. I think will be with Snap-on with Harvick owning the team.....

Andrew and Eddie will be on Harleys next year... They still have another year with Harley...

Karen has 2 more years left with Geico...

I will be out there with something just not sure which one yet....

Angie will be out some and maybe fulltime with the right sponsor....

 

[Porkchop]

DHL is closing the doors on their US ops. I think you might see Arend and Grubby looking for sponsors (unless Connie runs it out of pocket).

DHL does alot with Connies planes...so they will be staying on the F/C

 

[Larry]

As read in the lounge things are not looking good for continuing " Big Three " money .

Maybe the Chinese will step up.
They do make a lot of performance parts too.
Who is it SCAT that makes forged parts?

They were POS when they first came out but have improved quality to CNC thanks to stealing our technology's of course.
Then there's NITRO !

 

[K20A2]

Yes I think Mac Tools is gone from the dragster... I got the call from Mac last thursday saying they were done with most of the teams out there including myself...

wonder if that is who is going onto Neff's car....

 

[none]

Jim Yates I think still has Wiley-X in PS.
