Well after winning the Daytona 500 you'd think he would be be sponsorless no more but whats your opinion on this topic does he find a sponsor or not?
You sure about the chase partYes but he will not make the chase
Daytona curseYou sure about the chase part
That what i was thinking!:yes:Maybe Matt will pull some spnsers away from Carl...
no...it won't lure more sponsors. matt has quietly been one of the most consistent champions in the series...his credentials alone SHOULD net sponsors, but the way Jack does business is very prohibitive...it's also in part matt's personality...this day and age of racing it's not enough to have talent, you need to get publicity, and you need to be the pretty boy sadly. Winning supercedes all and the 500 may help..but one race doesn't make a hero. Bayne last I recall is still in the wood brothers car...and he's very young and marketable...just sayin. Nothing against matt...just not the driver most companies throw themselves at...he had a great ride with Dewalt and Crown Royal but stuff happens and things shift. One of the reasons Crown left is they wanted more exposure for their marketing dollar and sponsoring a race at RIR reached more potential customers than a split schedule with a guy who just quietly makes his way into the chase year after year. And actually at one point he was the last remaining driver who made the chase every year since it's inception...he dropped the ball on that a couple years back but still drives solidly and consistently to be a threat every year. He's a good guy, just too vanilla.
no, jimmie johnson is the last driver who has made every chase since 2004.no...it won't lure more sponsors. matt has quietly been one of the most consistent champions in the series...his credentials alone SHOULD net sponsors, but the way Jack does business is very prohibitive...it's also in part matt's personality...this day and age of racing it's not enough to have talent, you need to get publicity, and you need to be the pretty boy sadly.
