    It's crap quotes like this that makes me hate being in PR. Hate, hate, hate, hate being in PR.

    Hopefully this wasn't written in a press release, but I'm afraid to find out for sure.

    I have no doubt that was actually a quote from a press release.

    And while I have never used Goody's or any headache powder, it is a well-known name and to be replaced by Tylenol is disappointing.

    And correct me if I'm wrong, but hasn't SAFETY always been key for NASCAR, not speed? If so, wouldn't the ideal sponsor be a condom company?

    I'm a Yankee and I think this sucks.

    I wonder how Goody's feels, especially since they ponied up for a 3-year deal (I think) to sponsor the spring Martinsville race a little over a month ago?

    The Frances are nothing if not marketing weasels.

    Not before February 2001 it wasn't.

    Tylenol's safety rating took a hit years ago with that whole cyanide scandal.
