Several NASCAR teams run a few races every year with very few logos. They are usually spondserless. And looking at the car, I see a really large red H, known the world over as Honda. a black and red B, also known worldwide as Bridgestone. It's still advertising, just a lot more subtle than usual.

Yeah, but that is also why Nascar invented the "Your car has 900HP, so put on this plate to take off HP after you spent the money to add the HP" cause of the sponsers. When Nascar first started, it was STOCK races, and every one was equal, then the races found "hey, if I have someone else buy my parts, and make my car fast, I will win all the races, and they give me money to do it"..... They should go back to Stock racing, it's more fun.

I agree with going back to stock. The whole point is to have the fastest car, not be on such a level playing field that you huddle so close all the time. If your car sucks, then get better sponsors. It also helps to build up repor with performance and parts companies who supply the winning cars.

I might actually watch Nascar if it ever became like that. It would make the races so much more intense and interesting to watch.

Yes I left that part out. I guess that would mean that most Rice-boys love Nascar then right, it was their influence!
