Racing themed/owned dealership??

Post by jtodd »

I now this sound stupid, but does anybody know of a pontiac dealership owned by a race car driver/owner? I think it would be cool to have a Penske pontiac license plate frame, for example. Go ahead an laugh

There's a Penske Chevy dealership in Indianapolis. A.J. Foyt owned (still owns?) a Chevy dealership in Houston Texas. Darrell Waltrip owns a Honda-Volvo dealership in Tennessee. I can't think of any Pontiac dealerships off the top of my head. Try Google??

Rusty Wallace has several dealerships up in East TN near BRISTOL Motor Speedway, namely Rusty Wallace Pontiac/Cadillac/GMC in Morristown TN, RW Lincoln-Mercury/Mazda in Talbot TN, RW Toyota in Morristown, RW Ford-Mercury in Newport TN, and RW Honda in Knoxville......notice anything? The Dodge Driver doesn't own a Dodge Store, UNLIKE Sterling Marlin, who has an interest in a Dodge Dealership in Dickson TN. Dale Earnhardt Chevrolet is in Newton NC, and Jeff Gordon Chevrolet is in Wilmington NC. Terry LaBonte Chevrolet in Greensboro NC. Mark Martin Ford in Batesville AR. Neil Bonnett had a Honda dealership in Alabama. City Chevrolet (featured in "Days of Thunder") was one of Hendricks 1st dealerships. Hendrick Automotive Group (HAG) operates 49 dealerships representing 25 nameplates and 65 franchises and 13 collision centers across 8 states (Darrell Waltrip Honda/Volvo, and Terry Labonte Chevrolet are both Hendricks owned stores, but Jeff Gordon Chevrolet is NOT)

I agree, but he is the ONLY Nascar Driver that has his name on a Pontiac Store. I call my GM rep to see if he knew of any other ones, and he couldn't think of any that I hadn't covered. If anything else does come Up, I'll post it.I have to say Rusty whines as much as Jeff Gordon, and Jimmy Johnson.
