AT&T out, Osaram GmBH in at RCR #31
Because of NASCAR's bans on certain types of sponsorship, it is expected a major press conference in Boston will be held Thursday.
München-based Osram GmBH will be the new sponsor of the #31 to replace AT&T, banned by Sprint Nextel and NASCAR under sponsorship prohibitions imposed in 2003.

What is AT&T? Cingular? I would understand if they banned tobacco(I think it is already, don't see any Marlboro/Camel/Gauloises cars around(pun! : )), did they ban it when Winston was the main sponsor?
But this is pathetic. Just shows that for NA$CAR, money is the primary thing and racing is secondary, at best. Booo!.................................................. ..................................................

its wrong to ban tobacco advertising I know there are people here who disagree, but you have a right not to pay attention and buy a product just cause you see it. I've seen the "Marlboro" sponsorships but never smoked them. why should alcohol be allowed then to sponsor cars, people die everyday from alcohol poisoning.

Viagra was the last bad sponsor outside of Alcohol, sex drugs should be banned

SHame that Cingular is gone, I liked the look of that car. That said, I get why NEXTEL wants to keep things to themselves, they are paying a LOT of money for those rights.
As for booze or Ciggies....I am a libertarian at heart, I am against the banning of Ciggie ads on cars or anywhere else while the Government is quite happy to tax the profits and tax the smokes directly. If smoking is so horrible ban it. IT is horrible, but no one is given a gun to the head to start. I figure it is Darwin's theory at work...
BTW, classy of you to have the disclaimer Bobby C, It really wouldn't change your attitude, but you admit that you have a slight bias in the proceedings and you felt that was important. I wish other posters would get take that stand at times."Water for my horses, beer for my men and mud for my turtle".
