Re: NAPA to Sponsor Capps in 08

This is what i spoke about NHRA being a closed fraternity, and yes I sound bitter because I am, we couldn't get in the door with Mike Reardon with NAPA
They could as least been honest with us, kept repeating they were only interested in NASCRAP. At least roundie boys develop new drivers from the BUSCH series, I think we proved we could win and had a good plan to get exposure for the sponsors. We actually have more followers in the South than people realize and I will never buy a part from NAPA again and will strongly tell my story each chance i get. For the record i have already spent
$250,000 on parts and supplies this year that I offered to the bottom line.
and by the way I am happy for & like Capps one of my favorites nothing personal.

Has The Don actually made the announcement yet?

Same story here just a different location....

If your in the rich group you have it made .....if not you are out...

Guy, I'm with you on this big time....they just don't care....but they want all of us business owners to spend our money there! I was told several times nope we are Nascar.....Well they got my last purchase and payment last month....I would rather walk than buy anything from them again.

Congrats Ron...you are a great driver....

Hey Guy...heres an idea....let's go race the 14.0 brackets with our trucks....

Kevin
