Try ... Cheerios (Johnny Benson), Thorn Apple Valley (Rich Bickle), Jimmy
Dean meat products (Derrike Cope), McDonald's (Bill Elliott), Super 8 Motels
(Elliott), Kodak (Bobby Hamilton), Skittles/Starburst/M&M's (Ernie Irvan),
Kellogg's Corn Flakes (Terry Labonte), Primestar television (Kevin Lepage),
Cartoon Network (Jerry Nadeau -- seen the car with the Powerpuff Girls on it?),
BellSouth (Joe Nemechek), Hot Wheels (Kyle Petty), K mart (Darrell Waltrip),
and of course, Tide (Ricky Rudd).
Not totally your classic macho car-oriented sport any more!
Of course, thet's right alongside beer (Bud, Coors), terbacky (Winston, Kodiak)
car stuff (Ford Credit, Mr. Goodwrench), Guns (Remington), home improvement
(Lowe's, Home Depot), oil (Valvoline, Pennzoil), and other guy stuff.
Anybody else think Terry Labonte needs to regrow his mustache?
