Newman sponsor hunting?
This from the wires . . . Ryan Newman could be sponsor hunting.
The Verizon buy out could result in his sponsor leaving.

Jonesi, I agree that securing a sponsor isn't a driver's duty.
It would hard for me to imagine that Verizon would fire Chad.2008 ESPN Stockcar Challenge MSF Champion :D

NASCAR banned wireless communications companies in 2003 from advertising under terms of the Viceroy Rule imposed by Winston. Alltel and the former Cingular were grandfathered in the sport under the Viceroy Rule, but with the Vodafone buyout it clears out the clause and wireless rivals of Sprint will be out at the end of 2008.
Vodafone already sponsors Gillett Everham Motorsports' Nationwide Series cars of Chase Miller in a part-time role. There is no restriction on wireless company advertising in the NNS or NCTS. There is a ban on insurance advertising (must sunset at end of 2008) in the NNS under the Viceroy Rule.In Christ,

Vodafone may have a 45% stake in Verizion wireless, but Verizon communications has full administrative control. Its an uneasy partnership to be sure as both companies have made it know their desire to buy the other one out.
Variety. With 4-5 tarmac rallies in calendar, it's good to have some successor to circuit-like Catalunya. Rally wasn't super interesting but wasn't that bad either, I liked saturday stages more....
