Jim Beam will stay on as a series sponsor, so we won't loose the Jim Beam girls

Is it possible Jim Beam may move to a different team? Jack Daniels are going to get bulk coverage next year with the new car, could it just be that with Lucky 7 likely to go, SP Tools may leave with SVG to FPR, could Jim Beam look at another team who will no doubt get equal coverage...?
Just throwing it out there.... |

Looks like thay Mr Maurie Pickering could come on board as a sponsor/part owner to help this team.

So the DJR house of cards has fallen over again, They are now playing 'go fish' for a new sponsor, unfortunatly all thats left in the deck are the Joker's and a mix of 'Old Maid' and 'Uno' cards. Doesn't look good.

FFF are better looking else where to take there licience if they want a competetive drive.
Even the DJR cars sound alot different to all the other V8's in the field. |

With Jim Beam retaining its rights to sell its products why are they not a major car sponsor? Without major car sponsorship NO COMPANY should be allowed major rights of events or series. PERIOD.

That's a very good point. Not sure of what the $$$ are, but it'd be interesting to see the ROI on tipping money into signage on the side of a car, versus the tangible benefits that come with sponsoring the series (especially if that car you're sponsoring is doing as well as the DJR cars )

Maybe I'm missing the point, but plenty of companies sponsor the series or races which doesn't sponsor cars? Bigpond/Telstra, XXX, Clipsal, Dunlop, Dick Smith, Sucrogen, SkyCity, etc...

Sounds like DJR could fold at any moment and with SBR having less support in 2013 than they have currently from Ford, it seems that there will be two teams that struggle for results even more in the future than they presently do........so the questions to be asked:
1. Is the series slowly going down the gurgler? 2. Why would anyone want to sponsor a team that is continually running at the tail end of the field? 3. What is the category doing to support these teams with less funding that never win anything? |

There's no reason to suggest that SBR/Erebus' commercial team isn't already working away at suring up the budget for next season.
Same goes for all teams. Remember, just because the Funny Pages (AA) haven't 'reported' on it, doesn't mean hasn't, or isn't going to happen. |
