I think the point is that the bigger decals mean bigger money.
Well any sponsor that moves from an associate level to a major position is newsworthy , IMO. I think everyone needs to re-think they're expectations about sponsor deals. 2 of the sport's biggest and longest running, Castrol and Bud, both started very small and grew over 30 years. That's not going to happen very often, if ever again. So if Force has to have multiple partners trading major signage over the season, to me, that's probably the way of the future. The key is to stay out there, it's harder to find possible "anchor" deals if you're parked.

I hear you, Terry. However, in this day and age of instant information, social media, etc., it's pretty much impossible to keep any sort of announcement or news under wraps (i.e. the Connolly/BVR deal), nor do teams seem to keep things much of a secret anymore. Short of a direct conflict of interest that could risk a current contract, PR reps, teams, and sponsors know that the sooner the press the better the press. So, to me, it's not even worth being cynical anymore. Teams receiving, and sponsors willing to put the money out there deserve the right to still have a proper announcement/presser.

Damn, Andy. There you go being logical, thorough, and persuasive. Makes it that much harder for me to defend my observations fueled by the simple fact that I'm sick of all the Force hoopla. Everything you say is true, and my logical side agrees wholeheartedly. The other side, the cynical side, needs to quiet down and just watch it all happen! Well said, sir! I always enjoy reading the work of a fellow wordsmith!

People complain about "all the Force hoopla", but what's that old saying about there's no such thing as bad press? Maybe if one of the other teams had a story line that was half as interesting as the Force family racing story we'd hear more about them!

When I buy coolant, I pretty much went with Prestone products. Peak may be looking to make a big name for themselves with his sponsorship......I know I'll switch...
BTW....nitro motors don't use coolant
