Wonder how long it will be before a sponsor comes.

[Burhead]

Maybe they have some funding and just haven't redone the cars from last year? Wind tunnel testing costs money and I highly doubt Finch used it last year.

Maybe the new sitcom "Anger Management" with Charlie Sheen will sponsor Kurt this year???

Doubt any major sponsor will adorn that Chevy until Kurt proves himself again. Would you wanna sponsor such an ignorant jerk?

I don't know. Why do people like Kyle Busch, Juan Pablo Montoya and Carl Edwards have sponsors then?

Apparently, Security Benefit and all of the other guys from last year are staying on as sponsors.

Apparently, Security Benefit and all of the other guys from last year are staying on as sponsors.

And TAG Hauer will sponsor too.

Way to steal my post^^ Not 100% sure if the Tag car is real, heres the whole thing.

Poking around and found this TAG HEUER PATROCINA KURT BUSCH E A EQUIPA PHOENIX RACING - Prooptica

Its in portugese but translated it says:

"TAG HEUER SPONSORS AND KURT BUSCH RACING TEAM PHOENIX
Monday, January 30, 2012

TAG Heuer has signed a sponsorship deal with reigning NASCAR Sprint Cup Series and his Phoenix Racing team. Kurt Busch will drive the No. 51 Chevrolet for Phoenix Racing team Sprint Cup 2012, will also use the sunglasses brand TAG Heuer.

For the 54th edition of this global event, we wish to Kurt Busch and his new team in Phoenix Racing race a success!"

And the image from the article...


What do you guys think? Seems pretty legit, doesn't look like a br11 or Cup11s fictional render to me. Fairly new article, Jan 30, a little under 2 weeks ago. TAG is supposed to sponser him in the Shootout but im unsure if they'll be on the car for the Daytona 500.

Impala SS ^ I'd say fake

I did see a picture of Kurt wearing a TAG Heuer suit that looked really legit.

[mdterrapins37]

I like that. I hope it's the real scheme.

[elliott21fan]

I highly doubt Phoenix has any diecasts made, they said a few days ago that they only have some hats, and that was about it.

[Miles_Wilson]

It seems legit enough for a mid-pack team.

[smokingrouters]

im pretty sure thats real car if this is in shop.

[penskefan]

I think the scheme is awesome actually.

It will look much better on track.
