As implied by the presence of the logo (no brandname though) on his Nomex underwear during the preview show? I don't recall seeing it on the car during testing...

And if so, why would they be backing a non-Brazilian?

South American smokes. The sponsored Big Mo and Nunn's entries a few years back. Left C^RT to back Nunn in the .1RL for one season before exiting race sponsorship.

I guess it's better then putting " Thanks Dad" on the side of the car?

It seems he spent a large part of the off-season marketing himself to potential sponsors. He was asking Champ Car front office people for advise. At least he was making an attempt unlike some other drivers.

Or Fabio. 'Member the "Jeemy Car"?

I wouldn't bitch. Any new sponsorship is a good thing even if it's on a backmarkers underwear. ;)

I wasn't bitching. And I'm still awaiting verification that this does amount to "new sponsorship."

Now, if I were to say that if Hollywood were to be ride-buying for someone, I'd still prefer that someone to be Luis Garcia Jr. over Fabio...THAT would be bitching. :gomer:

I wonder if he's wearing Gugemins hand me downs?

Realize that they are a cigarette company... I seriously doubt that they will be buying into ChampCar, or any cigarette company would be for that matter....

They're only testing. The kid probably had some old nomex undies that were still good.

Waste not, want not.

backmarkers underwear.

I got some of those. Wife hates washing them.

I also doubt they'd sponsor a driver who is under 21.

Hollywood would be a welcome return IMO.

Except for Mo, they really haven't had much success winning races with the likes of Alex Ribeiro (Formula 1 70s), Tony Kanaan and Luiz Garcia Jr.

Pretty good lookin' cars though.

If it's true, this can only be a good thing and anything good in CC further raises the blood pressure of the crackheads at Crack Forum. :gomer: :p
