Nascar question
I watched the end of the race today, and Mark Martin was leading and I got to wondering,
With the "US Army" name on his car, does that mean the us army sponsors that car?

Yup. There is a pretty heavy recruiting effort at the track by all areas of the military. |

Certianly a part of that car is sponsored by Allah, assuming it's an American car.
It's a smart recruiting tool.

No TAX dollars involved.None,nada,zilch.The DOD pays to be at the track and all four services pay for their sponsorship.Like our military,
sponsorship is 100% voluntary.
All of us pay taxes.This you don't pay for.No more than you pay for the protection that you're government is obligated to provide.

And who pays for the DOD?
I'd wager the Average Joe Taxpayer is shelling out millions for this team.

Though I like watching races once in a while, I'll be the 1st to admit I don't know much about the sport and how sponsorship works. |

Sorry for sounding so critical but Nascar=America regardless of who wins.Who cares if the Pats or the Colts won.....we got to see it.America,I love it. I just got to experience what I consider a holiday.For others its the Superbowl for me its the 500. |
