Scott Speed’s Paint Scheme Openly Asks For Sponsors

Scott Speed's No. 95 Ford for today's NASCAR Sprint Cup Series Kobalt Tools 400 will feature a "giant pirate emblem on the hood," with script reading, "Surrender the Sponsor." Speed and team owner Bob Leavine made the move because they "didn't have any sponsorship" after the Daytona 500, and "ran the paint scheme last week at Phoenix." The design has "already paid off in terms of publicity," as Leavine has "closed a couple deals for future races." USATODAY.com
