#29-Kevin Harvick likely won't be wearing his Shell sponsorship logos quite so prominently this weekend at California Speedway. Harvick's team has been asked to utilize logos representing the Pennzoil automotive lubricant part of the company more prominently instead of the dominant Shell logo associated with the company's gasoline in an effort to play down any perceived competition with Sunoco, the official fuel of NASCAR. Sunoco has exclusive rights to the fuel category at a NASCAR track, and company officials raised the logo matter after Harvick won both the Busch and Nextel Cup series races wearing prominent Shell logos at Daytona International Speedway. As a result, Harvick will apparently be sporting smaller Shell logos at this weekend's events at California Speedway. "Obviously we've got a lot of partners and constituencies in the garage area that are important to the entire industry, and when these things come up we want to work through them as best we can," NASCAR spokesman Ramsey Poston said Thursday morning.(SceneDaily.com)(2-22-2007)

if i ever get the chance to choose between Shell and Sonoco, i am going to Shell, just because of this.

This is just one of the reasons this sport is becoming a joke over the last few years. The rules change on a hourly basis.

Sonoco has paid out a huge sum of $$$ to be the bigger of the 2 sponsers...if I read the posts correctly. So when a Shell dominant color scheme car wins Daytona, it gets noticed, lol. But if I'm gonna write checks that big a few things are gonna go my way.

The one thing that these people need to realize, is that just because a shell sponsored car won the race, does not mean that anyone is going to break their neck just to by shell gasoline. The old saying is "Win on Sunday, Sell on Monday". I for one do not believe it matters at all. I have been a Chevrolet fan for years and did not come by that because they won, it is just mere faith in their product:twocents:

Money talks in NASCAR these days, and i agree that it is BS....same thing with the cellular companies, Alltel and Cingular can keep sponsoring teams due to a grandfather clause, but no others can be primary sponsors due to Nextel having title sponsorship for the series

I dont know if Richard is willing to put forth the money it will take to restore the glory. I do think Bobby is capable, given the resources
