since you do not have a sexy body with large amounts of cleavage try to use the brain that God blessed you with to get the things you would like to go along with the talent you have.

ep-i like cleavage

Dawson,

There has been plenty of good advice given in this thread. The above is the best you're going get, take it & run with it; I'm sure you will!

As for sponsorship(s) or marketing partners sometimes they come in different forms. I have mainly been blessed with my financial backers/supporters & race car owners. It started with my rookie year winning a track championship (foundation), many...many moons ago. I continued to be a consistent above average racer for over 35+ years now. Anyway, get creative with promoting your race program. I started with the local news channels & newspapers. Then got some regional sports network recognition & some limited national exposure. Build your foundation, do some creative self-promotion, get your name out there, drive many different race vehicles, just to name a few items.

While I was grateful for my traditional sponsors/marketing partners. The best part of my racing program was my financial backers/supporters & a close 2nd was the car owners I drove for. I never understood why some of my supporters or car owners did what they did for me. They never wanted anything in return, didn't want any recognition! They just wanted B King to be successful. Thanks for all the support/backing over many...many years!

I wish you the best in your future racing endeavors. You're a breath of fresh air to CR. Keep up the good hard work & great things are coming your way! Patience ............

When it comes to the Pro categories whether it be NHRA or Nascar sometimes the best drivers don't make it there in favor of another driver that brings the funding to the party. Listening to the Dale Jr podcast over the last couple years has helped me realize how much this effects drivers getting their chances depending on their relationships and the sponsorship money they bring with them. It may not always be the case but is more times than not.

Didn't John Force's daughter pose for a very revealing
photo shoot some year back.

As I recall it did not work out very well with some of her sponsors!

[Dave Noll]

Yes, 2013, Courtney, ESPN's body issue. Don't know about the sponsors.

And from 1999, for the OP, The Dunn F. Pedregon AA/FC sponsored by Penthouse.

Your recall isn’ t accurate, it was for ESPN not a porn publication, along with other athletes, no repercussions at all.

Just so everyone of the forum understands. The quote of mine Ed now uses on his posts was taken out of context from a Private Message I sent to him and asked him to keep it between us.

[1320racer]

Again, Frank, you’re quite the character, a hypocrite, a liar and just full of shyt! This is your contribution to the thread, talking about a quote that has not been presented out of context considering I posted ALL of your words which you have to own!

[Pauley]

Interesting post.
So Frank is "quite the character, a hypocrite, a liar and just full of shyt!"

Yet you still seem to seek his praise / admiration. That says a lot about your lack of self- confidence.

Now on to this topic. No question S E X Sells. It is the world oldest profession and is even talked about in the Bible.

I never stated 0r implied that it was a Porn Mag Ed!

I simply stated that it was a revealing photo shoot.

It was rumored back then that some sponsors did not renew their sponsorship
at least in part due to the photo shot.

Please add another enemy to your long list Ed!
Not that you give a Damn anyway.
