Miccosukee sponsorship leaving the sport

[MTruex56]

Miccosukee sponsorship leaving the sport?: Sponsorship from Miccosukee Indian Gaming in all three of NASCAR's national series - Sprint Cup, Nationwide and Camping World Trucks - could be terminated as a result of an early February vote by the Indian tribe. The tribe, which runs Miccosukee Resort and Gaming located in Miami and along the southeastern edge of the Florida Everglades, elected a new chairman, Colley Billie, on Jan. 5 who campaigned on promoting a new and "proactive" economic development platform. Several sources confirmed the tribe plans a Feb. 4 vote to decide whether it will continue its sponsorship in NASCAR, which includes Cup [#09-Almirola] and Nationwide teams [#1-James Buescher] to be fielded in 2010 by team owner James Finch and a Truck team [#18] owned and driven by Kyle Busch. The chances the NASCAR sponsorships will continue are considered slim, sources said.(Charlotte Observer)(1-26-2010)

Poor Kyle, NOT welcome to ownership in Nascar.

If they already had contracts in place, can't the tribe be sued for breach of contract?

[jdneel88]

Yep, they'll work something out. Sponsoring rowdy's truck is financially beneficial.

Hope the teams sue the holy hell out of them.

They just want the money for themselves. Hope Kyle, and the other 2 teams sue the pants of them.
