I think JR needs Vagisil as a sponsor

It wasn't that he didn't want it. He had sponsors in place and Bud had a commitment with the previous team.

That's not how I remember it. I remember reading quite a few things saying he didn't like the "image" that would come with an alcohol sponsor... :dunno:

Possible I guess. I never heard that angle but I know that Junior's old team would not let Budweiser out of their contractual agreement and Junior's new team was fully sponsored. I guess we are arguing over nothing... again.

Nothing new there.. :lol:

The way I see it, Bud has enough money that IF they had wanted to go with Junior and IF Hendrick had wanted Bud, Bud could've just paid DEI the $$ owed for the rest of the contract, said "go find a new sponsor," and been gone.. :dunno:

I agree. I remember that there was some negotiation going on at the time and then Junior announced that Bud was staying put but he was moving on. Who knows what the real reasons were.

Yeah, what we were "told" and what really happened could be two very different things.. :lol:

Probably a lot of truth there.
