Demanding would would be appropriate. Until Busch stopped near the infield NRA logo after his winning burnout, I had not seen the lead sponsor mentioned.Fox disgusts me. If I was the NRA I'd be asking for my money back.
Wasn't there s'posed to be some six shooters.
According to the ticker the NRA was not a sponsor, it was apparently the Texas 500.
I hope they sue the piss out if NASCAR.
On a side note, the traffic around Ft. Worth on race weekends makes me regret moving to N. Ft Worth...

Ain't gonna be nun. Gossage said the contracted ended last year, and even though he and his crack sales team, had been at it, they couldn't find another sponsor, and he wasn't gonna pay for em. He's there to make money...
Which is kinda bad considering that this is usually the highest attended race for the year...
That was in reference to the pole winner rifle/shotgun. The six shooters were to be done just minus a sponsor. Because it has become an icon for the track.

Gossage said the tradition of the race winner firing pistols (which also were supplied by the pole sponsor) will remain, even though the guns are unsponsored
"You just won't hear me say, 'Time for the traditional shooting of the six-shooters provided by XYZ firearms' because they're generic guns," Gossage said. "This is a for-profit agency. I like money. This is a for-profit business."
The race winner's tradition is being kept because the track felt it had become a more iconic image than the pole winner's award.
"How many times have you seen the picture of someone shooting a shotgun in the newspaper?" Gossage asked. "But every time, you see those six-shooters."
I don't know about everyone is Connecticut, but I'm pretty sure the Governor and Senator Murphy watch the Logo channel.
