I was just looking for info like this and asking around.....for curiousity sakes.....Im already 14k into it and I need a little help...we'll see!!!! thanks!

 

DO things like nobody else has offered to do? Well I am not getting on my knees, but I would like some other REAL suggestions

 

I don't think there are any tricks other than hard work and keeping at it. Kenny and Jojo got it thru many years of hard work and winning races. It's tough to sell yourself without a track record. I know Kenny has a very expensive, professionally made proposal and Jojo has a promoter, Scott Revell. I think Tony1 once said that Kenny did over 30 presentations before landing Quaker State.

 

wow!

 

I just noticed that nira link you put up. I can't believe that still works. Great info there. I remember reading that a couple of years ago.

 

Yah, I know. I keyed in NIRA just for the hell of it one day and it still worked
