Per the Richmond Times-Dispatch – “Tabasco may not be done as a NASCAR Winston Cup sponsor. The sponsor left the sport after a turbulent ’98 season with ISM Racing. The sponsor and team were involved in a legal dispute after the team was sold and a new driver was hired. Owner Tim Beverley, who got entangled in the dispute by having bought the team, reached a settlement with Tabasco’s parent company. Part of the settlement, which runs through the end of this season, reportedly benefits Beverley and ISM owner Bob Hancher if Tabasco chooses to sponsor any other Winston Cup car. Beverley said he and Hancher must be paid if Tabasco wants to return to Winston Cup racing. Beverley said the company contacted him about bringing a car to Daytona, but it could not afford the one-race sponsorship price.”( Times-Dispatch ) wonder what that price was? — Source from Tabasco say the company has no interest in returning to NASCAR or Motorsports at this time
