The No. 31 Richard Childress Racing car was unloaded as a plain orange and black car without AT&T logos Friday morning at Bristol Motor Speedway.
With NASCAR Vice President of Racing Operations Steve O'Donnell watching, the Jeff Burton crew unloaded the car at 6 a.m. with a car that met NASCAR's approval.
That's because it didn't have AT&T logos on it. It didn't have any logos on the hood or the side panels.
The team hauler was plain black with the 31 number, and the team was wearing gray RCR t-shirts. All AT&T logos have been removed from pit equipment as well.
NASCAR and AT&T have been embroiled in a legal battle since March over the logos, the result of a merger involving Cingular and AT&T in December 2006.

Hmmm, interesting tactic. That could get them more publicity than actually having the Death Star logo on the hood...
 
Oh, yeah. Cool move by RC and the boys.
That plain orange will be a camera magnet.

What do you want to make a bet, though, that the TV boys have been warned to say nothing about it? :(

Can NASCAR control the Talking Heads too?
 
I think it would be neat to see a sea of AT&T tee shirts in the stands!
 
I noticed that there was a roaring silence about the "Nekkidd" 31 myself. ESPN is gutless so I can't imagine anyone will say anything. We'll have to wait to see what Dave Despain and Robin Miller have to say about it I guess.
