Default #50 Sponsor Returns:



#50 Sponsor Returns: Redneckjunk.com says it will sponsor Arnold Motorsports' #50 Dodge and driver Derrike Cope again this weekend in the Golden Corral 500 Nextel Cup race at Atlanta Motor Speedway. "The launch of redneckjunk.com went off in spectacular fashion, due in large part to our Cup sponsorship with the #50 car in Las Vegas," said company CEO Tom Connelly. Financial terms were not announced.(NASCAR Scene Daily Newsletter)(3-10-2004)

Maybe Not!

Sponsor for the #50 squashed? NASCAR officials on Saturday told Arnold Motorsports that it would have to remove the logos of its primary sponsor, Redneckjunk.com, from Derrike Cope's #50 Dodge. NASCAR said through spokesperson Herb Branham: "We just didn't feel like that projected the proper image of our sport." Redneckjunk.com sells used sporting goods and auto parts. NASCAR has become increasingly image-conscious as it attempts to broaden its demographic reach beyond the Southeast.(St Petersburg Times), shame it has come to this, teams are hurting for a sponsor and Redneckjunk.com is basically a classified ad site, check them out, at least they tried to support the sport.(3-14-2004)
