Navy officials have decided to pull the plug on their support for a NASCAR racing team after seven seasons and concentrate instead on other types of advertising products.
The decision on whether to go ahead with another year of the $7.5 million sponsorship was due on July 1.
"This won’t impact the remaining portion of this season; we’ll see it through," said Capt. Jack Hanzlik, spokesman for the Navy’s chief of personnel in Arlington, Va. "It is also no reflection on JR Motorsports as we have been very pleased with our relationship and the team’s performance — we just think it’s time to look at other advertising options."
