Re: Mac Tools Dumps Kalitta

Well, I guess racing is not the first thing people think of when they are under employed or unemployed, thus ticket sales drops and sponsors disappear. Its happening all over racing right now. I think you rightly said it when you suggested this may be the time for the little guy in racing to reappear. I hope so.

My district manager told me they were cutting back the motorsports program. I figured they'd dump Jr, not Kalitta.
I don't think ticket sales factor in as heavily due to TV exposure being so much greater than live spectator exposure.
This sucks.

Re: Mac Tools Dumps Kalitta

Anyone know if they're gonna drop NASCAR teams too? I think they still sponsor Roush and Hendrick, if not more...

Re: Mac Tools Dumps Kalitta

Well, to be fair, they're not the "primary" sponsors in that realm(last primary sponsorship in NASCAR by MAC tools was for the late Davey Allison, the RYR#28 in the old Busch series), so it may not be quite as expensive for them in that arena.

That being said, I don't care what discipline of motor sports we're talking about, they're ALL gonna feel the cruch real quick. Hate it for the folks that are depending on those sposor dollars for a paycheck to feed/house their families.

Damn....the hits keep coming for the Kalitta clan. Hope 2009 is kinder to Connie, Doug and the rest of the family.

It would be awesome to see him show up and kick some ass though.
