Win on Sunday sell on Monday...yea right !

Actually I have read 1 (one ) story about that that was true. Back in the early days of drag racing being the craze, one of the brothers that owned Grand Spalding Dodge told it. He said that he liked to work in the garage and his brother preferred office work, so he was out in the garage with the mechanics and some kid came in and told him that if he would give him a set of spark plug wires and plugs he would paint their name on his car for the weekend races. He said he didn't even know what drag racing was but after talking to the kid, went over to the parts department and told them to give him what he wanted. He said he then forgot about it until Monday morning when they had 5 people come in and tell them they wanted a Dodge just like the one that won at the drag races Sunday. But so far as NASCAR goes, I don't think that has been much of a selling point for many years.
