Tony Stewart Toyots Sponsorship Enigma

Although TS drives the Home Depot "Toyota" you don't see him hawking Camry's
or any other Toyota product in TV commercials....

What you do see is:

1. TS for Armorall -which features a Chevy Corvette.

2. TS for Bass Pro Shops- which features Martin Truex Jr and his DEI
Chevrolet

3. TS for Home Depot- which features the #20 Home Depot Chevrolet

The only Toyota related commercial I've seen him in is for Toyota
Interactive Race Fan in which the kids make the cars go crazy on the track.
Not exactly a Toyota endorsement.

Those were probably long-standing contracts which had to be
grandfathered in when JGR went Toyota.

And Tony has always been pro Chevy. I think his teams are all Chevy.
If he makes a move, it wouldn't surprise me to see him in a Chevy.

Is that so? I was pretty sure that Tony Stewart Racing was running
Mopars long before they switched over to bowties. I'm a big Tony fan,
but I'm pretty confident in saying that he'll run whatever he thinks
gives him the best chance of winning.

As Jr. said when he left DEI, "doesn't matter what I drive as long as
it's Chevy."

With GM's finances, that might come back to haunt him.

Re: Tony Stewart Toyots Sponsorship Enigma

OK, so Home Depot, which is TS's "primary" sponsor, grandfathered the #20
Home Depot CHEVROLET?

...even though they sponsor a Toyota?

Nope, ain't buyin' it. Besides, the Armorall commercial is brand new this
year.

Ask yourself this,.... what kind of personal vehicles does TS drive?

Better yet, take a glance at http :// www .eldoraspeedway,com /sponsors.html ,
Tony's own speedway, and you'll see that CHEVY & GM are prime sponsors!
Toyota is no where to be seen.
