Gazza a NASCAR fan??
Flicking through one of the tabloids at work during my break (it was either the Sun or the Star...forget which ) there was a story of has-been, but once quite famous football (soccer) star Paul Gascoine, who had recently crashed his car (hmm, not the best advert), but it was the accompanying photo that caught my eye, since it was a pic of Gazza, near the wreck, wearing a Dale Jr Budwiser red Jacket!!
Now the thought strikes me how he's even heard of NASCAR, he's not one of those footballer types that have turned up at any sort of Motorracing event over here and said "oh, I'm a big fan!"....is he a fan, or did he just think the jacket looked cool? (Yeah, I know, it's a slow news week...bar arguing over shoddy points reformatting and whatnot....still, thought it was worthy of mention! _ |

Nice one Fire! But I think it's the other way round. After all Gazza has single-handedly boosted Bud's profit margin by thousands of dollars and that was just last week. I wouldn't be surprised to see Junior sporting a Gazza logo on his flameproofs at Daytona.

American sport logos and apparel seem to be popular in Britain. I remember seeing Green Bay Packer, New York Yankee, Chicago Bulls..caps and such being worn around London when I was there in '96. I've also seen them periodically on some of the Brit TV shows they show here in the US. I also visited a nightspot where Budweiser was on sale for a pound!
Who'd ever thought Dale Jr. would go global? Heck, not even his father achieved THAT kind of popularity! |
