Sprint Woes?

[Sprint]

Sprint, the sponsor for NASCAR's premier series, recently cut 4,000 jobs and closed 125 retail outlets. The company reportedly lost 683,000 postpaid subscribers during the fourth quarter of 2007. But NASCAR chairman Brian France isn't concerned that the series will be looking for a new title sponsor after this season, saying he has talked to company officials and they have assured him of their commitment to NASCAR


Actually this has always conserned me. If you recall Sprint sponsored Kyle's car for several seasons years ago and then dropped out of Nascar saying that the costs were to high. Then they bought out Nextel and by doing so forced themselves back into Nascar I've always wondered if they would try and jump ship after a few seasons

France should start courting WAL-MART

A very $$$$$ company thats not going anywhere and will not be involved in buyouts

Also 2nd home to a majority of NASCARS fan Base
And they sell alot of the sponsors Products

Think of all the Promotions

Showcars
Autograph sessions
Nascar Sunday Special 10% off all NASCAR sponsor produts

Cities that have the race that week all Wal-Marts within 60 miles of race run a 1-2 day promotion give away 4-5 sets of tickets to Wal-Marts luxary suite at that race
Customer check their recipst against a pre determined number in each of those stores


Bring in your race ticket stub on Monday get 205 off your order that day only

Online challenge for all stores
One on line entry per e-mail address
Pick who will finish say 15 and win a $20 shopping card

Man this could be a Win Win for both

Wal-Mart could increase sales
NASCAR could push promo's through Wal-Mart's and get back some of their lost viewers and create new Viewers
Lpts of folks go thru Wal-Mart


Race day Electronic employees and Cashiers would be required to wear a NASCAR shirt under their vest and have all TV's on the Race

Tazz needs to be working in promotions

BS~

You will love it, but just make sure you get your groceries last. Motor oil and bread just don't mix. I'm always amazed when the bag of underwear ends up next to the yogurt.
