IN EXCESS OF $100 MILLION IN ECONOMIC IMPACT OFF THIS

CLASS CITY…A CONTINUING CONTRIBUTOR TO THE LOCAL ECONOMY…
POLITICIANS…YOU
GET WHAT YOU PAY FOR…GO FIGURE…
OUR FINAL PIECE…IS A STRANGE ONE…AND IT INVOLVES
TONY STEWART AND HIS JOURNEYMAN SERIES SPONSOR…OLD SPICE… DEODORANT…
SEEMS THE…OLD SPICE…FOLKS WERE SO CONFIDENT THAT
STEWART WOULD BE RAISING HIS ARMS OVER HIS HEAD IN A VICTORY CELEBRATION…THAT
THEY DECIDED TO SPEND A BUNCH OF MONEY TO SPONSOR…TONY’S…ARMPITS…SO
THAT WHEN THE TROPHY WAS RAISED OVER HIS HEAD THEIR OLD SPICE…LOGO…WOULD BE
