Hey fellaz- Thought you might like some more sponsored stories. When I lived in IL my dad and I raced A LOT of oval. We traveled the country and spent TONS of money. We were (patting my own back) pretty good. Then we got sponsored. I say we because, at the time, we were a team. Then we got very competative and stuff started to count. We were representing a company. It's pressure that not everyone deals with properly. My dad and I were an example of that. Eventually we got on each other so much racing wasn't fun anymore. So we stopped. (There were many other factors outside that but it was a major factor).
Don't try to get sponsored. If you are trying to get sponsored you already have the wrong state of mind to a "good" sponsored driver.
There are a few different types of "being Sponsored" too.
Tony is one of the best guys to sponsor- Friendly, helpful, old, and very tolerable to be around. (LOL) If you want to get sponsored be like tony- he is the man.
