Again, the Winston sponsorship didn’t go away because NASCAR didn’t want R.J. Reynolds’ money anymore. It’s now against federal law for tobacco companies to sponsor sports series.


No shite… we know that, that wasn’t the point.

F1 had to block cigarettes brands on livery at certain tracks back as far as the late 90s on Ferrari Marlboro liveries and McLaren West as well as BAR Lucky Stike.

I remember the Zakspeed team had West as a sponsor. At one race where tobacco signage was banned, they had East on the cars.
