NAPA in NHRA (2 Viewers)

[cephus]

My local store in Bama called me yesterday and napa is jumping on board with
DSR and Capps next year i saw a copy of the letter given to him, he had been trying to get the Bama Boys in the Door for at least a sit down for 2 years, which we had no luck, and we even have all our teeth anxious to see Capps sell NAPA goods to the good ole boys in the south (and i like Capps) it's all who you know and who you blow it still remains a closed
fraternity!!

Do your magic Evan Knoll

Fire up the burners Fuzzy, me and Elvis need a mason jar full of Nitro-Shine
to ease the pain!!

Sucks that you couldn't get your foot in the door..................but having a company like NAPA coming in as a Major Sponsor is definitely a good thing for the sport.

 

[PJ]

does this mean brut is gone? or are they just adding another big sponsor?

Whichever company it is won't be gone... They said it will be downgraded to associate sponsor... Which can still throw out a lot of money..

My understanding is that Brut is gone.

sort of sucks, Tim Wilkerson did a ton for NAPA years ago. if NAPA wanted to come back, Tim should of got first shot...,,,,, but then again, i guess buisness is buisness.

Anyone know what the NAPA girls look like??

Kelly's going to have cats over this!!

That would suck if BRUT leaves. Theu have done a lot for drag racing.
I tried to do my part, currently on my 4th (big)bottle of revolution, gots all the shaving stuffs too.

Yellow and blue huh?

Maybe we should quick go buy some stock in NAPA being they are about to get a serious increase in apperal/novelty items.

 

[Toejam]

Anyone want to bet Brut ends up in Nascar? Wouldn't suprise me.

 

[Kelly]

It's all good folks. Whatever happens.....I'm all for! I always say that where Capps goes, I go. Sponsor wise and owner wise. Oh, if you're curious, yes....I DID tell Shoe and the Brut guys that way back in the beginning!

Wasn't there talk of Old Spice coming to NHRA?

To Force for Zippy was something I heard.

Now that is funny Ray..........and probably a lil true

There was talk a while back about Tony Shue driving a Nascar Grand National West car Sponsored by NAPA, As far as I know, He never did do it, Oh I Wonder./????????

Bottom Line:
Great for the sport and DSR will handle them well.

napa logo was on etchell's last car i think?

wonder if they feel a real need to be in nhra, or just keeping
up with the jones, aka advanced auto parts, bumper to bumper,
CSK, o'reilly & recently auto zone?

.....come on car quest, it's your turn now.

if in fact it is the brut deal that is diminishing,
i would guess it was scheduled for a specific time period,
unless unbelievably unexpected results.
they were just using nhra as an inexpensive tool to put their brand
in front of the masses; they picked a great spokesman with ron.

 

[blackbeard]

i tend to get excited about non-traditional sponsors in NHRA. we've had oil brands, auto parts stores, and tool companies forever. but the non-traditional sponsors increase marketability.

I for one would certainly rather see Capps in those NAPA commercials than Michael Waltrip. The exposure would be great for drag racing.
