The Driver Suit Blog-My Thoughts On Series Sponsorship…Yet Again!

By David G. Firestone

I hate to rehash an old topic on My Thoughts On, but given some recent news, I have no choice. I’m going to talk series sponsorships again. Monster Energy has decided to pull out of NASCAR’s Cup Series after 2019. There was an article today concerning the situation. According to Sports Business Insider, of the potential candidates, The Coca Cola Company is the top candidate for the Cup Series sponsorship, but which of their brands would sponsor the series remains to be seen.

While NASCAR has prospects for their Cup Series title, IndyCar is not as lucky. I’ve been talking about this for months, and we are no closer to finding a series sponsor now than they were then. Their $25 million price tag, coupled with low television ratings, and low attendance has made it clear that finding a series sponsorship will be impossible. IndyCar needs to figure out that they aren’t a box office draw, nor are they a television draw. $15 Million would have been a much more realistic figure, given how bad TV ratings really are.

I was thinking about this, and I had a question: Let’s say that Formula One decided for some reason, it needed a series sponsorship. How much would the series sponsorship cost for the sponsor in questions? F1’s tire supplier Pirelli is rumored to have spent as much as $110,000,000 in both technical and sponsorship costs. I imagine given how popular F1 is worldwide, that the cost could be around that much, given that television broadcasts can generate as many as 50,000,000 people worldwide.

Series sponsorships aren’t a minor issue, because the revenue generated by these sponsorships, the sanctioning bodies get not only financial help, but exposure and promotion as well. Since two of the most well-known racing series don’t have a deal locked up, it’s clear that the racing boom really is dead, and now racing sanctioning bodies need a more realistic budget.

The Driver Suit Blog-Paint Scheme Grades-June 16, 2018

By David G. Firestone

Austin Dillon #3 Dow Salutes Veterans Chevy Camaro-The silver works very well, and the patriotic motif is not over done, and looks quite good. This is a great scheme. A

DJ Kennington #7 APC Chevy Camaro-Decent color scheme, but the cutting edge design is over done.  If it was toned down, it would be much better.  Still, it’s not horrible, so I’ll give it a B-.

Ross Chastain #15 Flight Path International Chevy Camaro-It’s a smooth look with a great color scheme, and that will always earn an A.

Paul Menard #21 Menard’s/Jack Links Beef Jerky Ford Fusion-Another instance of the Menard’s template working well.  This is the best template I’ve seen in a long time. A

Gray Gaulding #23 Redwing Toyota Camry-The only good thing I can say about this is that the color scheme isn’t bad, which is generous, since this is an ugly, over designed mess of a scheme.  D-

Ryan Newman #31 Okuma Chevy Camaro-This is another example of a “new” scheme that is simply rearranging deck chairs on the Titanic.  It’s a slight change from last year’s scheme that neither adds or subtracts from it.  As such, this scheme earns the same D+ grade it earned last year.

Michael McDowell #34 Dockside Logistics Ford Fusion-Same scheme as the old Dockside Logistics, same A grade.

Chris Buescher #37 Scott Comfort Plus Chevy Camaro-It’s over designed, but it sort of works.  The color scheme works well too.  After taking everything into consideration, I give this scheme a C-.

Darrell Wallace Jr. #43 Meijer Ford Fusion-This is a great scheme.  It’s simple, smooth, bold, and has a great color scheme. I can’t say anything bad about my scheme.  A

Cole Whitt #72 Zomongo Chevy Camaro– The green is bad, the design is just as bad, and the blue logos look horrifically out of place on the green and black background. F

Kasey Kahne #95 Chevy Accessories Chevy Camaro-If Kasey spent more time working on his driving skills as he does working on the design of his cars, he would have more wins than Richard Petty.  This is an over designed mess, with a bad color scheme.  Nothing about this scheme works at all. F

Garrett Smithley #99 Victory Lane Oil Change Chevy Camaro-Red and white works well as a color scheme, the design scheme works well, and the checkered flag motif works well too.  All in all, it’s worth an A.

The Driver Suit Blog-An Artifact From One Of The World’s Most Popular Sports

By David G. Firestone

Having grown up in the United States, we never watched Cricket, we watched baseball. Cricket is one of the world’s most popular sports. Its origins can be traced back to the late 1500’s. Like association football, cricket has their own World Cup. Using Wikipedia, I am going to provide an overview of the rules:

During normal play, thirteen players and two umpires are on the field. Two of the players are batsmen and the rest are all eleven members of the fielding team. The other nine players in the batting team are off the field in the pavilion. In the photo, the two batsmen have taken position at each end of the pitch. One of the two umpires is stationed behind the wicket at the bowler’s end of the pitch. The bowler is bowling the ball from his end of the pitch to the batsman at the other end who is called the “striker”. The other batsman at the bowling end is called the “non-striker”. The wicket-keeper, who is a specialist, is positioned behind the striker’s wicket and behind him stands one of the fielders in a position called “first slip”. While the bowler and the first slip are wearing conventional kit only, the two

batsmen and the wicket-keeper are wearing protective gear including safety helmets, padded gloves and leg guards.

While the umpire stands at the bowler’s end of the pitch, his colleague stands in the outfield, usually in or near the fielding position called “square leg”, so that he is in line with the popping crease at the striker’s end of the pitch. The bowling crease is the one on which the wicket is located between the return creases. The bowler intends to hit the wicket with the ball or, at least, to prevent the striker from scoring runs. The striker intends, by using his bat, to defend his wicket and, if possible, to hit the ball away from the pitch in order to score runs.

Some players are skilled in both batting and bowling so are termed all-rounders. Bowlers are also classified according to their style, generally as fast bowlers, medium pace seam bowlers or, spinners. Batsmen are classified according to whether they are right-handed or left-handed.

Of the eleven fielders, three are in shot in the image above. The other eight are elsewhere on the field, their positions determined on a tactical basis by the captain or the bowler. Fielders often change position between deliveries, again as directed by the captain or bowler.

If a fielder is injured or becomes ill during a match, a substitute is allowed to field instead of him, but the substitute cannot bowl or act as a captain. The substitute leaves the field when the injured player is fit to return. The Laws of Cricket were updated in 2017 to allow substitutes to act as wicket-keepers, a situation that first occurred when Mumbai Indians’ wicket-keeper Ishan Kishan was injured in a match on 18 April 2018.

A bowler reaches his delivery stride by means of a “run-up” and an over is deemed to have begun when the bowler starts his run up for the first delivery of that over, the ball then being “in play”. Fast bowlers, needing momentum, take a lengthy run up while bowlers with a slow delivery take no more than a couple of steps before bowling. The fastest bowlers can deliver the ball at a speed of over 90 mph and they sometimes rely on sheer speed to try and defeat the batsman, who is forced to react very quickly. Other fast bowlers rely on a mixture of speed and guile by making the ball seam or swing (i.e. curve) in flight. This type of delivery can deceive a batsman into miscuing his shot, for example so that the ball just touches the edge of the bat and can then be “caught behind” by the wicket-keeper or a slip fielder. At the other end of the bowling scale is the spin bowler who bowls at a relatively slow pace and relies entirely on guile to deceive the batsman. A spinner will often “buy his wicket” by “tossing one up” (in a slower, steeper parabolic path) to lure the batsman into making a poor shot. The batsman has to be very wary of such deliveries as they are often “flighted” or spun so that the ball will not behave quite as he expects and he could be “trapped” into getting himself out. In between the pacemen and the spinners are the medium paced seamers who rely on persistent accuracy to try and contain the rate of scoring and wear down the batsman’s concentration.

There are ten ways in which a batsman can be dismissed: five relatively common and five extremely rare. The common forms of dismissal are bowled, caught, leg before wicket (lbw), run out and stumped. Rare methods are hit wicket, hit the ball twice, obstructing the field, handled the ball and timed out. The Laws state that the fielding team, usually the bowler in practice, must appeal for a dismissal before the umpire can give his decision. If the batsman is out, the umpire raises a forefinger and says “Out!”; otherwise, he will shake his head and say “Not out”. There is, effectively, an eleventh method of dismissal, retired out, which is not an on-field dismissal as such but rather a retrospective one for which no fielder is credited.

Batsmen take turns to bat via a batting order which is decided beforehand by the team captain and presented to the umpires, though the order remains flexible, when the captain officially nominates the team. Substitute batsmen are not allowed.

A skilled batsman can use a wide array of “shots” or “strokes” in both defensive and attacking mode. The idea is to hit the ball to best effect with the flat surface of the bat’s blade. If the ball touches the side of the bat it is called an “edge”. The batsman does not have to play a shot and can allow the ball to go through to the wicketkeeper. Equally, he does not have to attempt a run when he hits the ball with his bat. Batsmen do not always seek to hit the ball as hard as possible, and a good player can score runs just by making a deft stroke with a turn of the wrists or by simply “blocking” the ball but directing it away from fielders so that he has time to take a run. A wide variety of shots are played, the batsman’s repertoire including strokes named according to the style of swing and the direction aimed: e.g., “cut”, “drive”, “hook”, “pull”.

The batsman on strike (i.e. the “striker”) must prevent the ball hitting the wicket, and try to score runs by hitting the ball with his bat so that he and his partner have time to run from one end of the pitch to the other before the fielding side can return the ball. To register a run, both runners must touch the ground behind the crease with either their bats or their bodies (the batsmen carry their bats as they run). Each completed run increments the score of both the team and the striker.

One form of cricket is Twenty20 cricket, aka Twenty-20, and abbreviated to T20. In a Twenty20 game the two teams have a single innings each, which is restricted to a maximum of 20 overs. The England and Wales Cricket Board created Twenty20 in 2002, and it has grown in popularity, spawning its own World Cup, like the ones played in 2009. I have a couple of match-used coins from the 2009 Twenty20 World Cup, including this one, from the South Africa vs. Pakistan semi-final, where Pakistan won with 149/4 over South Africa’s 142/5.  The coin, slightly larger than an American quarter, is in great condition.

The specially made coin is not sold as a replica, and comes in a customized box, with an International Cricket Council logo. The box is about 4 inches square. The coin itself is slightly larger than an American quarter, though much smaller than an NFL toss coin. The heads and tails are marked. The heads side features a 2009 ICC Twenty20 logo, with England 2009. The tails section features an ICC logo, with a 100th anniversary commemoration. The coin comes with an ICC COA.I also have a second coin, from a Group B competition between England and the Netherlands. This was one of the early matches, where The Netherlands won 163/6 over England’s 162/5. The coin is identical, no serial numbers are on these coins, and the only difference is the COA. Next week, I resume the vest project.

The Driver Suit Blog-My Thoughts On Tom “the Mongoose” McEwen

By David G. Firestone

I was feeling under the weather last week, so I never got around to an MTO for the week. This week, I feel better physically, but not emotionally. I woke up this morning to the news that Tom “the Mongoose” McEwen died yesterday. Tom “the Mongoose” McEwen was one of the most colorful characters in the history of the NHRA, and was one of the most respected drivers of his era.

His rivalry with Don “The Snake” Prudhomme was one of the most visible rivalries in the NHRA, and his friendship with The Snake was one of a very few to survive that kind of rivalry. Watching Snake and Mongoose today was hard to do, but there wasn’t anything else that was appropriate to do today.

Losing a racing legend, especially someone who had the pleasure of meeting is always hard. The Mongoose was a real legend, and he will be missed in the NHRA, and the drag racing world at home. Tom “the Mongoose” McEwen.
