2026 Silly Season

So you are trying to say that 23XI wouldn't have sponsorship opportunities of their own for their drivers or something else you have no idea about?

Bubba brought a lot with him at the time he left Petty to head to 23XI. Heck I believe there was even a brief lawsuit over one of them. He brought DoorDash, McDonald's, Columbia Sportswear, Dr Pepper, and Root Insurance with him when he left.

Have any of these sponsors said because of publicity?

Where I don't agree with Wi, I doubt a sponsor would ever even admit something like that.

Exactly there isn't any proof to any of that opinion.
Wallace appears this year to have better sponsorship than he had previously.

Yeah, there's no proof either way. So he can have his opinion, and you can have yours.

So why are you in the middle of it then?

Motorsports sponsorship is getting harder to come by with each passing day. A lot of businesses and companies are spending their money on the successful people or not getting involved period. I've seen a local tracks, regional series and racers having a difficult getting any sponsors. For Bubba losing McDonald's, it's more of the companies changing their spending habits than it is anything person with Bubba.

Now come on....You know thats not the way SOI works.
