Maybe he can steal 7-11 from Michael Andretti.

Marlboro Going, Going, Gone! (http://www.pmusa.com/responsible_marketing/marketing_practices.asp#sponsorships)

Sponsorships

The agreement limits each participating manufacturer to a single brand-name sponsorship in any 12-month period. It prohibits manufacturers from engaging in brand-name sponsorships of concerts, events in which minors are a significant percentage of the intended audience, events in which any paid participants are minors or any athletic event between opposing teams in any football, basketball, baseball, soccer or hockey league.

PM USA chose as our single 2004 sponsorship an Indy Racing League (IRL) car racing team in conjunction with Team Penske but has announced we will voluntarily discontinue our brand sponsorship of auto racing by December 1, 2006.

Yep, and Cindric recently said Penske is having trouble getting sponsors interested. It seems most won't talk smack unless there's some sort of re-unification. Is it any wonder what Rogers motivations were the last couple months?

Penske has been enjoying his hobby on OPM since 1962 and the Zerex Special. It might give him an aneurysm to race out of his own pocket.

Perish that thought. :laugh:
Spend your own $$ on your hobby, just like us normal people.
