Completely agree here. Whatever happens, I'll always cheer and support the Stoffers.

You bet!

Agree 100%.

I was certainly disappointed to hear that during the ESPN3 live streaming show - Karen (and her team owners BTW) are some of the nicest most accessible people you'll ever meet at a sporting event.

I hope (and think) that they will wear a new brand nexy year for some smart sponsor. I have NO IDEA how much $$ GEICO was paying but (IMHO) PSB has to be one of the "biggest bangs per buck" of any sponsor investments. I mean, how many people became aware of GEICO - especially in the specialty vehicle niche - before Karen's deal.

That said, rather than think GEICO "voted with their feet" on PSB, I'd suggest they just wanted to try somethjing different. They spend PLENTY on advertising and have shuffled ad campaigns many times over the years (Caveman, the Gecko, the Drill Sargeant/Shriunk) and many more - Karen's team got 8 years - In NHRA years - that's a heck-of-a-good-ride.

I wonder if these sponsorships are paid out per race, or all at Once?

Like Paul said on some being paid in quarters of the year... and tons of other variations... Some up fron wiht the quarterly payments.. some with the up front and before each race.. some have formats that pay X amount for attempting the event.... then more if they qualify for the event.. with bonus's on where they quailify ... quailify .. and some have extra moneys paid on how they finish in the event... the combos are endless on how it can be done....

Oh.. and extra "possible funds' on how they do in the points for the year also to toss out another vairable...lol

LOL, you should work for Darr on Agent 1320!! It's rare that they get something accurate as well!

Where's the "LIKE" button when you need it?

I will always be a huge fan of the Stoffers, hopefully they'll have another full time marketing partner for next season.
