auxlepli 17 Report post Posted July 26, 2008 The Edmonton Oilers are sponsoring Graham Rahal's car in the Indy Car race this weekend. Unfortunately he's already out ot the race. Surprisingly enough the ESPN announcers mentioned the NHL Oilers. I am truly surprised. At the Nashville race a couple of weeks ago, Dan Ellis of the Predators was the grand marshal. It's cool to see that cross promotion. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
auxlepli 17 Report post Posted July 26, 2008 OK, so Rahal came back, but now he's definitely out for good. Again the announcer, Bob Jenkins, mentions the Oilers and the NHL. So he's not a regular ESPN announcer and I guess that's why he's all about mentioning the NHL and Oilers. Leave it to a Hoosier to do the right thing.

LeftWinger 5,153 Report post Posted July 26, 2008 ...yep, just read the sig! Tony is already great friends with Kid Rock (Detroit) and Kid Rock is a HUGE Red Wings fan maybe there can be a little co-sponsership with Illitch, Kid Rock & Tony, so how about a Winged Wheel on one of Tony's cars next year? Maybe at one of the Michigan races... ...that would be COOL, even though it probably won't happen! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
