So, there's some sort of Dale Earnhardt Jr/Richard Petty announcement coming tonight. Any idea on what this might be? Don't disappoint Fender.​

Teaming up for charity, of course.

Yeah, I was rooting for your prediction but instead it looks like I get to buy Goody’s® in an all new 88 pack.

Dale Earnhardt Jr. Joins Richard Petty on Team Goody’s®


Two of the greatest names in auto racing are teaming up to back one of the sport’s most committed sponsors, Goody’s®, the legendary headache powder.

Dale Earnhardt Jr. and Richard Petty announce their collaboration on a new marketing campaign for Goody's Headache Powders on January 21, 2013, in Charlotte, North Carolina. Goody's has been a part of NASCAR since 1977, helping start the trend of non-automotive sponsors in auto racing. The new Goody's campaign is the first time the two drivers have worked together, linking two of NASCAR's most legendary names.

Dale Earnhardt Jr., the most popular driver in NASCAR racing today, is joining Goody’s longtime spokesman, Richard “The King” Petty, in a new multi-media campaign that will introduce consumers to the fast-dissolving headache remedy. Beginning in early 2013, the driving duo’s radio, television and digital campaign will tell fans how to be unstoppable with Goody’s.

Rest of the story can be found here.

Damn! I know most on here don't really care for it but it looks like there will be no pit-crew competition this year. I always thought it was pretty cool that those crew members could get their day in the spotlight.

Pit-crew competition may not be held in 2013: Sprint shifted its sponsorship of the pit-crew competition during all-star week to the Daytona event to give it sponsorship of both non-points Cup events, the Sprint Unlimited and the Budweiser Duel. The pit-crew competition currently is without sponsorship, and NASCAR has not determined whether it will be held this year. "We are working to continue the event," NASCAR Senior Vice President Steve O'Donnell said in a statement.

That's a good event , another sponsor should pick that up. Hard as those guys work , Home Depot or Five Hour Energy would be great fits.

It was the crews one chance to be the stars of the show and get some glory. NASCAR should sponsor the event themselves, even if it means a smaller cash prize. They and their ISC cousin make a ton of money during speedweeks.

At some point I'll end up making it down the for the All Star event. I would have liked to attended this as well.

I'm acronymically challenged. In my world that means provided by client. I don't think that is what you meant. Help me out here.

Really funny Tony comment at the media event. "Danica is really helping Ryan and I with adjustments on the cars".

So far not skipping a beat. But then again, I may be the only one watching this.

 

[FenderBumper]

When I scroll the video, the web info bar doesn't move and ends up on top of the feed. Nice artistic touch there.

 

[FenderBumper]

Hey, I can cover Brians face. NICE feature.

Not so sure that that comment isn't very telling. Rumors were that Danica was unable to communicate what she needed from the car with Tony Eury Jr. . Either because he didn't understand or didn't want to listen. If she is now able to communicate what she feels in the racecar to her crew , it is an important advancement.

Its funny to watch Brian while the sheriff talks. He's like HUH?

Tony jr doesn't listen to any of his drivers.

How long until Denny has to apologize for making the gun hand gesture?

 

[MOEJOE]

How long until Denny has to apologize for making the gun hand gesture?

Maybe he wishes it was him going to Penske instead of Joey. Hmmmmmmmm..... What's that Denny? You're sick of your car falling apart?

Some wanker will connect it to Sandy Hook.

I bet Joey stole his phone on the way out of JGR.

I spent many a late Saturday afternoon in November watching the pit crew challenge when it was still sponsored by 76 and held at The Rock. Nothing like hearing a great 'raw' time, and then came the missing lug nut penalties.
