The Pepsi 400 is a thing of the past

December 7th, 2007

Among all the news reports about Coke extending their contract with NASCAR and expanding their support at different tracks I noticed one paragraph buried near the bottom.

In 2008, Coca-Cola also will assume title sponsorship of the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series and NASCAR Nationwide Series races at Daytona International Speedway during Fourth of July weekend. An official announcement of the new race names is expected early next year.

So the Pepsi 400 is gone starting in 2008. I think Tony would approve.
