Put your name on Dale Jr.'s race car
It would take quite a sum of money to put your name on the side of a race car, but AMP Energy drink is providing an opportunity for NASCAR fans to do just that with Dale Jr.'s #88 car. The first 65,000 people to sign up at AMP Energy's web site will have their name appear on the car for that AMP Energy 500 at Talledega Superspeedway. If you don't sign up in time, the next 35,000 names will appear on the pit will banner, and registered names to appear after that will appear on the race car cover or on AMP Energy signage posted throughout the race track. We'd guess the names will be pretty small, so don't expect to see your name on TV any time soon. The last day to register is July 1.

You could always just change your name to Dale, and then have the exact same feeling _every_ race.

The first 65,000 people get their name on the car?
That's some small print.

I love this idea especially when the Honda F1 team did it. Red Bull F1 did it but with photos.

Can anyone tell me why they still worry about the make of car in NASCAR? They are all the same. I sure hope people who watch NASCAR don't make their car buying decisions from NASCAR racing.

In an effort to obtain parity between manufacturers a "car" design is mandated by NASCAR. This has had the desired effect as to equipment, but does blurr the identification of the vehicles. I don't like it either, and long for the good old days when there were "real" stock cars. However, if that were the case today, there would be no "cars" that would allow a fair startpoint for competition. The answer to your question goes back to the idea that most people don't really know that all the cars are virtually identical in design, and NO manufacturer really has anything running in NASCAR racing. It's ALL about advertizing a "brand" as a business investment.

Why do people hate Jeff Gordon so much?
As someone on the other side of the world (who does like watching NASCAR), I guess the hate of Gordon stem from that he originates from the wrong side of the Mason Dixon...
