Uh Oh! Kalitta sponsor throws down the gauntlet!

I guess funding the mustard-themed, Mikres-tuned Toyota just isn't enough for DHL Worldwide.....it was just announced that DHL will also be the primary sponsor on David Grubnic's Top Fuel Dragster this weekend. What a great statement by DHL, stepping to the plate to sponsor 2 Kalitta cars in Vegas. Go get 'em boys....make some SHIP happen!

Great news for the team, maybe that will turn into a full time deal. UPS vs DHL, now if FedEx would get involved...

I plead the 5th, due to the fact that the answer may get a whole new thread going....

Re: Uh Oh! Kalitta sponsor throws down the gauntlet!

I don't know though; right about now I got my money on Hogan & Oberhofer putting the red car through a few round wins on Sunday. But we all know Mongo & the Bounty Hunter will be ready to unleash Grubby as always...
