Jim, great Job! I think Starbucks will be a great addition. I hope they make their coffee available during raceing events. Here in the midwest our races are frequently held in the early spring or late fall. It is frequently cool and damp. There have been many times while attending a race I have paid more than 4.00 for a cup of coffee. It was not Starbucks and closely resembled mud.Yet it chased off the chill, so worth the price. I would love to find out where the the reporter got his price list for a “Typical Nascar fan’s outfit” If you find out can you share it ? The last time I bought a t-shirt it set me back over $25.00.

Starbucks pricey,but you do get what you pay for.Personally I rarely drink starbucks.I am a bit of a coffee snob.I roast my own.I want to know what I am drinking.I do make a better cup then Starbucks for far less bucks.

Here is a link to the story :

I did two things. First, I let the Seattle weekly know what I think of Caleb Hannan in the article’s coments section.

Then I emailed Starbucks thanking them for the Truex sponsorship. We need to let companies know they are welcome in our sport and we will support them.

I encourage everyone to do the same.

NASCAR is losing sponsors faster than they are gaining them. We can use more companies getting involved.
