More troubles for Patrick sponsor
Looks like Danica Patrick's Motorola sponsorship could come under review before long. Rumor has it that Motorola is taking a hard look at its Mobile Devices unit and might very well give those slackers the ol' Freescale treatment and spin off the division as a separate company. This sort of love 'em and leave 'em tactic is oddly a bit of a habit with Motorola when times are bad, and times certainly have been better — Motorola's phone unit lost $388 million this quarter, compared to $341 million in earnings a year ago.
