I understand that each team is to receive $100,000 from IZOD, my guess that would be in team clothing with IZOD plastered all over each item just like it was on Team Cheever in the past when Eddie ran IZOD on his cars.

What do you make of the NASCAR press release about Danica? Is it coincidence that they release this at this very time??? I don't think so. What do you think??? <em>Editor's Note: I think the NASCAR publicity is partially designed to take attention away from Indy Car, which will announce several positive items today. If Danica is serious about going to tin tops, she needs to start in a Winston-West-level series from the ground up and not expect more money than anyone else already in those series. I understand the need for NASCAR and its members to create publicity, even if Danica's part time job is only a couple of races. She needs to be careful, however. Those boys will go out of their way to hand her ass to her on the track. </em> Question for D:

I can't believe that those in the financial position to purchase it would just watch it die. John Menard also comes into mind for buying the Mile.
