Haven't watched since Gordon's last season but damn, I only recognize a few sponsors.

No Lowes, Home Depot, Bud, Miller, Office Depot, Target type sponsors.

I’m not some nascar sponsor know it all but a simple look in shows McDonald’s, FedEx, Amazon, Monster, Penzoil, Busch Light, Bass Pro, etc.

I don’t know, I feel like Amazon is maybe, just maybe, as big of a name as Office Depot.

Money ain't flowing like wine anymore for them to throw 20 million at a team.

They still have big sponsors but it seems like less and less guys have that title sponsor for the whole season. Hamlin is pretty steady, Logano, maybe a few others.

You used to be able to pick out your favorite drivers immediately because the paint scheme didn’t change and those cars became iconic. That’s kinda lacking now.

It’s not as lucrative as it once was. It’s also very expensive to do, particularly to be a car’s primary sponsor for like 30 races in a season. Nowadays many teams have several sponsors who they spread primary sponsorship out among throughout the season. Not many cars/teams have that one sponsor who sponsors them for 95% of the races during a season.

Pretty much every single one of those sponsors you listed got out of the sport after the driver they sponsored retired. Target pulled out because they’re liberals and once miller was bought by a foreign entity, they dropped out too.

To be fair I don’t know how Office Depot is still a viable business so they probably don’t have any money to pour into a race car sponsorship.

They went away when all the big name drivers left, retired, got killed.

I watched Daytona yesterday and barely knew any of the drivers

And it was boring
