Green vs. Raines

| | Comments (0) |

NASCAR Nextel Cup Series drivers Jeff Green and Tony Raines have a little wager going on for the race at Bristol Motor Speedway.
Green, the driver of the No. 66 Chevrolet for Haas/CNC Racing, and Raines, driver of the No. 96 Chevrolet for Hall of Fame Racing, are betting their teams colors on the outcome of the race.
The losing driver will have to wear a hat with the other driver's team colors at for the race at California Speedway.
“I didn’t hesitate when I was asked,” Raines said. “I believe in my DLP HDTV team, and have no doubt they’re up for the challenge. I feel like we can take home bragging rights over the 66 team this weekend. If not, I’ll be proud to wear the Best Buy hat and hopefully get some race fans to pick up their DLP HDTV at Best Buy.”
Green and Raines are sharing sponsors on their cars for the next couple of races.
“It’s just something fun to do,” Green said. “Tony’s DLP car has my sponsor, Best Buy, on the quarterpanels for the next two races, and our associate sponsor, Samsung HDTV, is one of the top manufacturers of DLP TVs. We thought it would be a little different to see which DLP/Best Buy car can come out on top this weekend. It’ll be our race-within-a-race.”
