Stock Car Gazette - Saturday, June 7,2008 Weekend Edition
T H E * S T O C K * C A R * G A Z E T T E The Stock Car Gazette is sponsored by: TNT begins six-race broadcasting tenure More of Doug's columns can be read at: ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Courtesy www.jayski.com Newman talking future with Penske, but sponsorship could affect it: #12-Ryan Newman already has been in discussions about his future with Penske Racing, and now the issue is complicated with the uncertainty over sponsor Alltel. Alltel and Verizon announced Thursday that Verizon has agreed to purchase Alltel, with the transaction completed by the end of the year pending approval from industry regulators. Verizon plans to drop the Alltel brand, and NASCAR officials are adamant that Verizon cannot replace Alltel on the car because Verizon was not grandfathered in when NASCAR signed Nextel as its premier series sponsor in 2003. Will the uncertainty of the sponsor impact negotiations? "Long term, yeah, it’s going to have an influence," Newman said on Friday after qualifying at Pocono Raceway. "I don’t know what that influence is yet. Obviously, it’s new news to everybody, including most of the people at Alltel. I’ll keep doing what I usually do and see what happens." Penske Racing has a long-term deal with Alltel beyond this season, and its status might not be determined until late in the season or early next year depending on when the deal is completed and when Verizon drops the Alltel name. Newman could sign a contract without a committed sponsor but that is rare for marquee drivers. "I don’t know," Newman said when asked if he would sign without a sponsor commitment. "I have no idea how long things are going to take and what the situation is going to be like."(SceneDaily)(6-7-2008)Cup Drivers Scheduled to test at Infineon Raceway: Six Sprint Cup Series drivers are scheduled to visit Infineon Raceway on Tuesday, June 10, for a one-day test session.
