John,
I'll give you one unpublished source: A good friend of mine, who once covered the PGA, was discussing golf with a marketing guy from CDW, and was told, "Looks like we'll be there next year." The conversation went on to all the reasons for dissatisfaction with their sponsorship in 2007, and the attractive demographics for professional golf. Strong impression given -- but not explicitly stated -- that they were done wth CC.
As I know who was involved, this conversation is totally reliable to me. As I won't mention names -- I'm quoting a friend without his specific permission -- others will disregard this as no names, no link, no sources, no credibility, my agenda, whatever.
Justin Wilson has proved to be a good driver in North America, and we can hope that he gets the well-paying seat he deserves, wherever that may be, and whether or not he brings any sponsor with him.
Fz.
