My condolences to anyone who missed Saturday’s Craftsman Truck Series race at Las Vegas Motor Speedway. It was a great race that included the type of wild, wreck-filled finish that’s typical of truck races at this track.
While walking around the garage I did notice a few things I found to be humorous. The Sprint Cup sponsors usually include household names like M&M’s, Pepsi and Office Depot. But the truck series includes sponsors that, shall we say, aren’t quite as Madison Avenue.
My favorite was FarmPaint.com. At first I imagined that this was some kind of weird Web site for a new country-western band. But I checked the site and it’s selling just what the name suggests, farm paint. Another favorite was the sponsor for the No.15 truck, Hyprene-Ergon asphalt and emulsions. No wimpy candy sponsorship for this team. There was also GunBroker.com. You wouldn’t want to make those guys angry. But the most eye-popping sponsor had to the No. 7 truck that had Heathcliff Cat Litter emblazoned across its side. Fill the truck’s bed up and you could have the world’s largest cat litter box.
