The Daytona 500 is this weekend and  I was watching some of the practice runs and I found myself wondering – what is that? The drivers names I recognize, but some of the sponsors on the NASCAR cars left me wondering, “what is that?”. So I had to think, I can’t be the only one. So this year when you’re watching the race and you see a purple #99 car you can say “Oh yeah, that’s a bar in Nashville”. Everyone will think you’re a genius. And when you see the #8 3CHI.com car you’ll know if you enter that website into your phone the first thing that happens is a pop up that says “you must be 21 to enter this site”. Since I’m at work and I don’t care if I download questionable material on my work computer, I did the busy work for you. So let’s take a lot at some of the obvious, and not so obvious sponsors of this year’s Daytona 500 cars. Except for car number 27. I have no idea what that one is.
