Welcome to the Sponsor sign-up and OOC discussion thread! My idea is that the storefronts of NationStates can 'sponsor' a car in the Cup Series. You would pick a real-life car, and then watch the race on TV to see how your driver does. Just imagin your 'corporate' logo on the car. If there is enough interest, then next season we can sponsor the races too. Also, your nation can 'host' one of the tracks in the circuit. For example, the Chicagoland Speedway is in United Delta. Keeping the RL name makes it easier to keep track of the races. We will not be RP'ing the race, but watching it on TV. This means that we have no control over what might happen. I'm also going to keep the RL drivers and teams. All we are doing is changing what is on the hood. (IF enough people sign up, we I'll take all ideas on how to add 'features' for the 2007 season.) If you're interested, make a request below. Feel free to ask any questions. I will make an IC thread that will have the official standings and the results of the last race for those who can't watch. Sign up below, and let's go racing!

Recently we were made aware of an chance to sponsor drivers/teams in your primary series. We are very interested in this, being a semi-new company looking to get our name out to prospective buyers. Basically, we'd like to put our name on the #16 car of Greg Biffle. Is this possible?

Ill take Kurt Busch, with Griffincrest Oil Inc

I though Le Mans was an endurance series.

I was thinking more like WRC races. If we do sponsor drivers for it, dibs on Stephane Sarrazin.

I STILL call it Sears Point. Infineon is a cool name, though.

Quakmybush Foods and Co. would like to sponser Jeff Gordon

im just kidding :p

Quakmybush, confirmed.


(ha, ha Phoenix...)

I wish Tony Stewart would stop having terrible luck.

I don't. He's an arrogant son-uf-a-gun. 'little puggy too...

And he's the best driver in NASCAR today.

I just can't wait until Denny Hamlin starts competing with Hendick.

best driver today, well i dunno. after 16 races he only has 1 win and 1 pole, in seperate races. now kasey kahne, he's got 4 wins (4 from the pole) and 4 poles. Mayby Stewart's performed good in the past (he is a champion), but I don't see a great driver this year. plus, after the Bud Shootout, he was saying that all the hard bumpdrafting was "going to kill somebody". One week later at the 500, he was the only one doing it!

I'm keeping an eye on Denny Hamlin. Gotta love it when a rokkie wins his first race, and from the pole too!

Tony definately hasn't performed up to expectations this year, but he has had some TERRIBLE luck, if you look at it. He had the engine at.... California, Vegas? Then broke his shoulder, then backed into the wall on his second week back, then lost another engine.

To do all that and be in the top 10... he's doing ok.

Kasey Kahne had far too many wrecks last year. He has to do ALOT before I'll see him alot better. He's alot like Jimmie Johnson. They'll both choke in the chase.

Well Griffincrest's car didn't do to bad, i thought he would win though

Griffenite Dynamics (GDI)'s car did good. He could have been in the top 5 if he didn't have a tire go down. He moved forward for the whole race, had a tire go down, and STILL finished... 13th?

Don't forget to watch the race this Saturday night, July 1, FOX/7:30 p.m.
Pepsi 400
Daytona International Speedway
Will Jimmy Johnson continue his superspeedway dominance?

If Tony could keep his car clean he'd do great at superspeedways. He always messes it up. I loved the 500 earlier this year though. That was classic with he and Kenseth.

Garfieldian Lasagnia Would like to sponser the #99 of Carl Edwards

WLTV Wants to sponser the #14 of Sterling Marlin

bump for sponsors

watch for the IC Thread to appear later

What exactly will we do in the IC thread?

My suggestion is to have a certain price that all corporations have to pay to get sponsorship, and at the end of the season, the sponsored cars are put in their points rank and the corporations get a chance to get a payout on their investment.

International Carbon Industries would like to sponser the #31 of Jeff Burton and Ukrops Supermarkets would like to sponser the #17 of Matt Kenseth

I hope you weren't just watching final practice.

The IC Thread will have the official standings, results of the last race, and major news, and more. It will not be for general discussion, that's done here. You may post new about your driver, for example a change in sponsorship or a change in the car's colors. Feel free to create an image of what your car looks like if you want. TeleGram me a link to the picture (or e-mail it to me at nx9100@yahoo.com), and I will include it in the car listing. I'll set up the IC Thread in a few hours. Need to sleep first.

You do know that what you posted is the order they qualified, not the order they start?

Due to a change in weapons design policy, Raytta Aerospace INC is now Raytta Dynamics INC

i'll change it this time, but a new rule will be that you cannot change sponsors and/or cars durring a season. however, that won't be used until next season. It's only fair, since i didn't have that rule before.

DAMN YOU GORDON! :upyours: That was a cheep move, spining Kenseth like that. But man, it was great when he tried to celebrate. When he drove past the stands, everyone was throwing beer bottles, pop cans, and all kinds of stuff at his car! Can you say unpopular? :cool:

No, I can say REDNECK FANS. I don't care how pissed you are because someone who a full set of teeth won a race, but throwing beer cans is more than CLASSLESS. I hope Gordon does the same thing a few more times this year, and people get ARRESTED for being rednecks.

I'm ashamed to call myself a NASCAR fan right now.

Oh, and on a good note - We stole a prized F1 driver!

Score!

Gordon's one of the most asshole drivers. He's also unpopular for a reason. Most of us ARE rednecks, and he isn't one of us.

In other news, Juan Pablo Montoya will be awesome!!! Go Ganassi!

No, most of the fans aren't rednecks, actually. At one time it was that way, but the average anual income for NASCAR fans is something like $50,000. It's hard to make that kind of money working at Jimbobs Tire Shack. And in all actuality, most NASCAR drivers now [minus Earnhardt] are from the north or west.

"Good ole' boys" aren't quite a fixture in NASCAR anymore - thank god.

Redneck equates to blue collar boys. There are PLENTY of blue collar jobs that break 50k. And the fanbase is still quite powerfully rooted in the south. Which is WHY they're getting guys like Montoya, to improve diversity. Hell, they might have Danica in a few Cup races soon(awesome idea).

But, if you show up at Richmond, or Bristol, or Darlington, the majority of fans will not be driving stock SUVs, or minivans. Foreign cars will not be much in evidence. You will see jacked up Broncos, Rams, F Series, and Silverados. There will be a profusion of American cars, mostly of the sedan/sports/muscle car variety. At least, that is the way it has been when I've gone to races. Things may be different at, say, Chicagoland, or up in Loudon, but down here, this is Southern territory, and nobody wears a 24. Heck, few people wear 48s either. 9s, 8s, 19s, 99s, 40s, and even a few 00s and 07s can be observed on trucks, cars, clothes, and hats.

If you think Rednecks lack class, that's your issue. I think Gordon is the sorriest excuse for a NASCAR driver there is. He just isn't a proper driver. He could cut it in F1, or Indy, where the fanbase is less liable to have an ill opinion of any pansy driver. Course, they'd stioll hate Gordon, because they'd think he drives like an animal every time he did something we expect from any Cup or Busch driver, but that's because F1 appeals to a generally different set than NASCAR.

Part of my personal issue with him is that he's the only "major" driver that I cannot remember EVER seeing in a Busch race. Whether he thinks he's too good for Busch, or whether he just can't deal with the limitations, he's nothing compared to lesser known drivers that run Busch. Busch takes skill, skill I don't think he has.

Can you consider that maybe your typifying of the fans(which was most of them), as rednecks ws wrong, and that in fact Gordon is a piece of scum, that even damn yankees dislike?

I live about 2, 2 1/2 hours from Bristol. I've been there alot. I know how people there are rednecks. Darlington - been there too, rednecks. Lowes, rednecks.

What's the problem though? No new tracks are being built in the south. The sport is migrating north.

Futhermore, there's no more TALENT coming from the south.

9s, 8s, 19s, 99s, 40s

How many championships have any of those numbers won? Hell, how many RACES have those numbers won recently?

To say Jeff Gordon doesn't have talent is arrogant. To say Jimmie Johnson doesn't is ignorant. Gordon has won HOW many championships? The reason Jeff Gordon is hated so much is because he presents a more sophisticated, intelligent, and "damn yankee" attitude. Jeff Gordon is the best thing to happen to NASCAR, followed by Tony Stewart. NASCAR has the best ratings of most things on TV right now. If it was viewed as redneck... it wouldn't.

Jeff Gordon is one of the people who can drive anything. He could dominate F1, he could dominate Indy.

And he has, and will, be a force in NASCAR - whether redneck fans like it or not. Tony Stewart is there now - from Indiana, not exactly the south. No one is anywhere NEAR "dethrowning" those two. And with rookies like J.J Yeley coming up... well... NASCAR looks like another war the South has lost.

The Busch Series doesn't take talent to run at all. It takes MONEY. That's why people like Kevin Harvick are so good there. Look at how well Harvick does there compared to in Cup.

Jeff Gordon may not have ever ran a Busch Race. He didn't need to. He went straight to cup and ended the "good ole' boy" stage. Dale Earnhardt, Rusty Wallace, Bill Elliot... they ALL lost their dominance after Gordon came in.

In a last minute scramble for sales, Combatech Military Industries US Export Divison would like to sponsor car 00, Hermie Sadler, driving the MBA Racing Chevvy.

First, I must remind you of what the tern "redneck" means. As defined by Jeff Foxworthy of BLue Collar Comedy, redneck is "an extreme lack of safistication (sp?)". Anyone, from anywhere in the country, can qualify. I was born and still live in Illinois, only 10-15 minutes from Chicagoland Speedway. I am also 75% hispanic, yet all of my friends consider me a combination of redneck-geek. While it is true that NASCAR is growing out of the South, think of it this way: it's the fastest growing sport today. Who knows? Maybe one day it will even top football, lol.
Second, to be honest, I had nothing against Jeff Gordon, until Chicagoland. That was cheep, and I laughed my butt off wheneveryone threw crap at his car.
Third, How many championships have any of those numbers won? Hell, how many RACES have those numbers won recently?
#9 has the most wins this season, and will most likely make it into the Chase.

LA Ice, got it.

Is it really smart to use JEFF FOXWORTHY as your source? :p

Glorious lack of sophistication. And who better to use as a source for defining Redneck than the man who has become the front man for all rednecks?

Kasey Khane is, as far as I know, still 5th in points, and looking to move up in the standings. When Kasey makes the chase this year, the odds are good he'll take the cup. At least in my opinion. He's been doing alot better this year. Just have to see how things go in the next few races. I say he'll keep on moving up in the standings, and take first in the points.

Kahne is 6th in points, just over 100 points in the top 10. He hasn't been running that well recently, either. Look at Tony Stewart, too. As close as it is it only takes a small fuck up to take someone out of the top 10.

He was 5th last week then. Either way, he's pretty damn high up. Consider how little he'll have to move up to take first. I'm not sure, where is Jeff in the points right now? Is he even in the top 10?

Jeff is 8th in points.

Anyone from about 12th to 5 is NOT locked into or out of the chase right now. It's REALLY, REALLY close. Kahne is slipping back towards the grasp people who are racing to be in the chase, too.

I'd love to see Johnson and Kenseth both go out of a race so the 400 point margin will come into play and we'll have a 11-12 car chase.

it'd be nice to see #43 make the chase, for old times sake...

I'm not a fan of anything Petty related - at all. Not just because Richard is a sexist pig, but because Kyle is arrogant and thinks he is actually a contender.

Labonte is ok, being a Gibbs fan and all, I just don't think he has the team to support him anymore.

Little correction here for Hermie Sadler: his car is apparently a Ford, according to the NASCAR website.

Am I the only person who almost died from laughter after Tony Stewart's incident with Bowyer?

By the way, would it be ok for me to switch the sponsors on two of my three cars? I've got an RP idea coming up, and a Corporation I may be using would be alot better if I could add something to its list of assets.

LA Ice, oops, thanks for the correction

McKagan, sure, just list the changes you'd like.

McKagan, sure, just list the changes you'd like.

Thanks.

I'd like to switch the sponsors I have on JJ Yeley and Denny Hamlin, so that Denny Hamlin is sponsored by Xeccon Industrial Corporation.

And yes, that is a name change from "Xechon" to "Xeccon."

That's just a random thing.

Geneticon Armed Forces Engineering (GAFE) wishes to sponsor Greg Biffle.

His new paint scheme will be green and orange, predominantly light orange.

Geneticon, you got it!

Did anyone see what happened to Hamlin this week? He was sitting at the bottom of the track in the front stretch after the last lap and it looked like he had some damage. Was he involved in the Kahne crash?

Oh, and another thing... I think i'm giving Tony Stewart a point for winning the feud with Carl Edwards this week. I'm doing this because of two things. 1, the Eddie Haskell remark Tony had in the pre-race show was the funniest thing in NASCAR for weeks. 2, Carl sort of lost some points when he said "I can't believe Tony's still calling names and stuff, he's a moron."

anyone else notice that the last few laps at Michigan were almost a repeat of Chicagoland?

The thing at Chicagoland turned me from anti-Gordon to pro-Gordon: I was actually wishing it would happen again.

On another note, I live an hour away from Bristol. I have a friend who can get free tickets.

I just don't feel like going again.:p

Evernham ran 1-2-3! Do, da! Do, da! Then Kasey Kahne went and won the race! Do, da, do, da, day! :D I felt bad for Reed Sorenson, though. That would have been his first Cup win. And it would have been nice to see someone win besides the same dozon-or-so.

This is the new nation I created to manage this thread. Have any ideas for making this thread better? Please post all ideas here. Also, I will be starting a thread for sponsorship applications. All current sponsors will be givin priority first. Here is what I was thinking for next season:
-All sponsors can create there own paint scemes for their cars (optional)
-Nations who claim a track can rename both the track and the race(s) held there (exception is Daytona and the Daytona 500. IT CANNOT BE CHANGED!)
-Nations with tracks can create a backstory for the track that fits with their nation (optional)
-during a race, we can RP IC as spectators watching the race in the stands (ex. corporate sponsor)

any suggestions and ideas would be great. I hope you all return next season!

Hey, I'm here now. Just a heads-up, but I plan to have the contracts for the Gibbs cars expire at the end of this season, and different subsidaries of Avisron Industrial Corporation will be picking up the tab; if that's okay. Also, I find it odd that no one has picked up Kevin Harvick yet. Would it be okay if I pick him up too? That would be my 4th car, but that's in line with how many cars NASCAR allows teams to have [or will if they ever enforce the rule,] anyway.

Harvick for this year? And post the contracts for next year on the New Thread (http://forums.jolt.co.uk/showthread.php?p=11731199#post11731199), please.
