I miss those conversations....

OK I wi ll admit I'm a NASCAR fan. The drivers have to do a TON of promotional **** in between races, during race weekends they are scheduled all over the track, dropping in on hospitality tents and stuff, I think they are quite busy, Every team is obviously different.

NASCAR is also hurting for funds. Track owners teams. Etc. some teams aren't coming back this year since they cars are all different.


for Rolex, I read that Brumos didn't have a full season planned and were advertising for sponsors in the WSJ. Wow.
