Nascar is a "Monster" http://www.nascar.com/en_us/news-me...nsor-monster-energy-named-premier-series.html
Heard the whole press conference. Monster Execs did go out of their way to state that this would not impact any of their current sponsorships. They called this a growth opportunity. Funny though they mentioned every motorsport and driver they are associated with including the new F1 champ, rally cross, Moto GP but never mentioned NHRA, Drag Racing, JFR, or Brittany Force at all.
And yes they called out Kurt Busch directly and said they will continue to sponsor him in Cup racing and they will become the official Energy drink of NASCAR.
I was also under the impression that the TRAXXAS contract was done after this year in less they renew??

The official JFR announcement is Friday. Every piece of media on this story has reported that. I don't understand how anyone could be confused about that.
As for Beckman, how can you report the replacement when the current crew chief hasn't officially left yet? I would imagine the Don has a replacement in mind, if not hired already, he is just not going to undercut JFR's announcement.

All of that type of factual information has never stopped non-stop speculation on this web site in the past. You sound a bit cranky today..

If Traxxas does not renew as Courtney's sponsor I think her car will be black with green M's on it.

COURTNEY FORCE ANNOUNCES SPONSORSHIP RELATIONSHIP WITH
ADVANCE AUTO PARTS STARTING IN 2017
Brownsburg, Ind., (December 9, 2016) – John Force Racing and Advance Auto Parts, a leading automotive aftermarket parts provider in North America, serving both professional installer and do-it-yourself customers, announced a major sponsorship agreement today to include major primary sponsorship of Courtney Force’s Chevrolet Camaro SS Funny Car. This multi-year sponsorship will begin with the 2017 NHRA Mello Yello Drag Racing Series season opener, the Circle K NHRA Winternationals in Pomona, California, and cover the winningest female Funny Car driver in NHRA history throughout the season.
“I am thrilled to be driving the Advance Auto Parts Chevrolet Camaro SS Funny Car starting in 2017. Last season, we made some big strides toward our first championship and I am very confident in my team led by my crew chiefs, Dan Hood and Ronnie Thompson, and that next season can be even better. I love the look of this red, yellow and black Camaro and I can’t wait to get it into the winner’s circle,” said Courtney Force.
Last year Advance Auto Parts appeared on John Force’s PEAK Camaro Funny Car at select events including a trip to the winner’s circle at the NHRA Carolina Nationals to start the 2016 Countdown. The relationship has expanded to encompass Courtney Force’s Funny Car team through this multi-year sponsorship.
“This is a real business-to-business deal for John Force Racing. We expanded our relationship with PEAK at the beginning of last season and we ran the Advance Auto Parts Funny Car a couple times,” said John Force, JFR CEO and 16-time Funny Car champion. “The opportunity came to grow the deal and they were interested in Courtney so it was a perfect match. We are excited to work with Sponsorship Integrated Manager Matt Davis and his team at Advance to help them grow their business across all their stores. I have done shows with Advance Auto Parts in the past and am looking forward to working with them again.”
Advance Auto Parts has been actively involved in motorsports through the NHRA, NASCAR and other motorsports series important to its customers.
“We are proud to be partnering with Courtney Force and the John Force Racing team for the 2017 season and beyond,” said Walter Scott, Chief Marketing Officer for Advance Auto Parts. “After working with John and the team last year through our partnership with PEAK, we got to know Courtney and felt she would be a great ambassador for our company. Our team members and customers love NHRA drag racing and we can’t wait to see the Advance Auto Parts Funny Car on the track in 2017.”
