Kodak to sponsor Newman in three Cup races and: Eastman Kodak Company will serve as primary sponsor of the #12 Dodge driven by Ryan Newman at three Nextel Cup races in 2007. Kodak will also sponsor Newman’s car in seven Busch Series races next year, and will be an associate sponsor of Penske Racing’s IndyCar Series entries driven by Helio Castroneves and Sam Hornish, Jr. Plans call for Newman’s Dodge to wear red-and-yellow Kodak colors at Nextel Cup races in Talladega [Apr or Oct?]; Fontana, CA [Feb or Sept?] and Watkins Glen, near Kodak’s headquarters in Rochester. At 33 other Cup events, Kodak will be an associate sponsor of the #12 Alltel Dodge. The seven Busch Series races where Newman will drive a Kodak EasyShare Gallery-sponsored car are Bristol, Texas, Darlington, Chicagoland, Watkins Glen, Fontana, and Richmond [assuming they are in order of the races, so Bristol would be in March..not August, but it doesn't clearly say].

Thanks for posting that Curves. I had not seen or heard of that yet. I think it is a pretty cool paint scheme and it will look even better with my beloved Ryan behind the wheel!
Alltel is locked in as the primary sponsor through 2009 I believe. This is something I did not know: the #12 Alltel and the #31 Cingular cars were "grandfathered" in when Nextel took over as the Cup sponsor from Winston. Seems that they don't want the other wireless companies out there as car sponsors.

yes they are grandfathered in.... nextel insisted on that... no other cell company can get in now, and if the company is purchased or renamed... it cannot return.. such as cingular... next year they are to be partof att? anyhow the 31 has to get a new sponsor since cingular is being bought out... at least that is what I read earlier this year...

That is the reason why the Nextel Cup racing patches on both drivers uniforms are black and white, not black and yellow as the other drivers are, so as not to overshadow their sponsors.
