Tony Stewart, the un-indicted co-owner of Stewart-Haas Racing, is pleased to announce that teammate Ryan Newman will be driving a LeBron-Hater-sponsored Chevrolet Impala for 9 races in 2012.
"We couldn't be happier to have Dan Gilbert, owner of both Quicken Loans and the Cleveland Cavaliers, come on board with us as a sponsor for 2012", Stewart explained at today's press conference. "Dan's assured us that he will spare no expense towards spreading his message of pure, unadulterated hatred towards LeBron James through Nascar."
Gilbert currently sponsors the LPGA's Greater LeBron-Hater Open and the LeBron-Hater Building in downtown Cleveland. He said that he first became interested in Stewart-Haas after seeing the word "Cookies" on a recent Newman paint scheme in Comic Sans letter-style.
"This is a bold new day for LeBron-Haters everywhere", Gilbert said. "We're looking to acquire number 23 for the team, just so we can put a big 'NO' slash-out graphic over it."
While the sponsorship doesn't officially begin until 2012, Newman will be running a special paint scheme next week in Texas promoting the "Visit Cleveland, Not Miami" tourism campaign.
"Its always a good day whenever you can announce a new sponsorship", said Newman, shortly after the press conference concluded. "Dan told me that he originally wanted to sponsor an unlikable team that had never won a championship, but MWR turned him down."
