How I discovered Rowdy, and why I Listen:
I was searching iTunes a few years ago for NASCAR offerings. What was there was meager except for Rowdy.

Never tunred back, even paid for a subscription for awhile during that dark time.

Got back in to racing after a long layoff when my parents bought tickets for my brothers, our wives, and myself to the CocaCola 600 in 2000. It's crept up since then.

BDR sues OTC 360 : Payment hangover?
Bill Davis Racing is taking the makers of OTC 360 (Rockford-Montgomery Labs) to court for only paying $25,000 out of a $14 million sponsorship for the car that Jeremy Mayfield drove last year.
Could it be that Rockford-Montgomery Labs felt that they should only pay for the races that Jeremy actually qualified for? Or that he got them so little air time when he did qualify?
I think there was a non payment issue before anybody started missing races and unless there's a clause stating such in the contract I'm not sure they can just pay for the races that they make.

Even if they just paid for the races that he made...$25k is paltry (even for one day of racing). Maybe the bigger question is "What were they thinking by agreeing to pay $14 mil to sponsor a team that was outside the Top 35?".

Just to clear matters up, I was exercising a bit of sarcasm there. My initial reaction was just what Jason had mentioned - who would pony up $14 mil to sponsor a car that *might* make the race? Wow.

Who didnt see this coming? Rockford-Montgomery Labs doesnt have a good track record with paying out. They are being sued by so many for the same thing. BDR come on! Dont tell me this is a big surprise!

I have found out that Bill Davis Trucking was not forced into Bankruptcy. He filed for Bankruptcy to get out of paying the hundreds of thousands of dollars in medical bills he owed, due to an injury accident that caused a couple in California to now be permantly disabled and in Bankruptcy themselfs. He was not forced into Bankruptcy !!!! Now who does not like to pay?
