Title Sponsor

[AudRS]

Barnhart and his family gave out the game ball at the Pacers game tonight. He was representing FedX. I have heard a title sponsor is to be announced the day before homestead. My bet is on FedX.

did they show it on the FSN broadcast? i must have missed it...

Let's hope you're right. FedEx would be a great title sponsor.

[Gomer Simpson]

Who'd they give the ball to?

I would rather not have FedEx. When they were the title sponser of CART they did nothing in the terms of Promo or cross promotion.

That being said I guess their money is better than no money.

I guess there are just some people who step in mud and think there must be a diamond under their feet. Just how do you make this fairy tale FedEX connection? I'll bet the same people who are breaking out the congratulations to FedEX are the ones who believed that Sarah Fisher was posting on the IndyStar boards about her pending sponsor annoucement.

This was my exact thought when I read this thread. This is also the first time I have heard a title sponsor is expected to be announced. Does anyone have a link?

At a minimum, shouldn't the thread title be: "Title Sponsor?"

I don't know anything about FedEx & IndyCar except the pathetic deal CART signed with FedEx is irrelevant.

Andrew Craig.....Loony Joe, Chris Pook just burning through c.$200million in under 2 yrs.......CART was among the most incompetently managed business in the USA.

FedEx is first class all the way. If a deal was to happen, I'm sure this guy that puts corpoations/sponsors & motorsports entities together would do a solid WIN-WIN deal.

With UPS so invested in NASCAR & IndyCars so much faster than clunky stockers, I've long thought DHL, FedEx, etc. would be a perfect fit for Indy Cars.

Actually, they had several commericals that featured drivers. Gil De Ferran was one driver that came to mind.

Didnt they also provide transportation of teams to all out of country races? That in itself saves a ton of money.

Makes sense but there are no sponsors left. They're all in NASCAR.

Wonder if Indycar.com will post any photos of this...

[Racechic317]

I didn't know they were getting one

I didn't know they were getting one. I always said Clabber Girl should be it. But Fed ex is much better

[Danny Noonan]

This is probably nothing more than the fact that FedEx is a sponsor for Conseco Fieldhouse/the Pacers.

UPS is already invested in something that's faster than IndyCars, they also sponsor an NHRA Top Fuel Dragster. Maybe they just like to put their money where they get the best ROI.
