So why did Geico get bumped? Too much politics.....

I refuse to watch it so i don't really know much about how the sponsors and their contracts work.

Nascar has been gay ever since they tried making all the cars the same. The thrill of nascar was supposed to be that you could actually buy what they were racing....almost. Remember when they outlawed winged cars because of the Dodge Daytona. Now the cheese dick car of tomorrow was a wing? Its such a boring sport. Its supposed to be about the cars and the drivers, not the drivers and the sponsors.

speaking from experience I can tell you that nascar has a serious "buddy" problem. Nationwide probably took the france's out to the strip club more than geico

Worst rule ever...

Remember the Indy "25+8" rule? What did that do to the IRL series for a solid decade (and beyond really).
