Army finds NASCAR racing less attractive option for recruiting youth
With the backdrop of a looming political fight over recruitment spending, the Army is putting the brakes on its costly sponsorship of a NASCAR racing team.
On Wednesday, the Army announced that it would stop sponsoring Stewart-Haas Racing’s No. 39 Chevrolet driven by Ryan Newman in 2013. The Army allocated $8.4 million in sponsorship spending for this year's 12-race season.
