Let's save this thread incase it needs revisiting after Homestead! But I certainly hope this is true!

Since there are two threads going on the same topic now, I'll add this link here too: Here is another article: www.prnewswire.com/news-releases/liverpool-signs-exclusive-deal-with-his-highness-prince-faisal-al-saud-62400292.htmlTwo key lines from this article: "This exclusive relationship will explore collaborative commercial opportunities specific to football, NASCAR racing, and interactive media in Saudi Arabia and the surrounding Middle East North Africa region." "The framework for a partnership in NASCAR has also been established to consider the development of a NASCAR racing circuit and Richard Petty racing schools in (...Saudi Arabia...) and elsewhere in the Middle East." I really see this not as intervention in RPM, but rather an investment in Gillette owned enterprises with the intent of broadening those enterprises into Saudi Arabia and the mid east. |

Great find Paul! Perhaps this will put us on par with Hendrick and Roush moneywise?  ? |

Heck, I'll bet we have enough backing with these guys to buy out Roush and Hendrick! <joking>

Yeah from a Public Relations standpoint. I would have released the same statement. Just tru to sugar coat it as best as possible.
