Bill Saunders, point man for the Hall of Fame Racing team of Troy Aikman and Roger Staubach, said the search for sponsors is down to five corporations, one of which is based in Dallas-Fort Worth. Saunders also said a sponsorship agreement must be signed by Aug. 1 for the team to compete in Winston Cup next season. “But we still could compete in the Busch series or the truck series next year if something is finalized after early August,” Saunders said. “We will have an affiliation with one of the big NASCAR teams, but I can’t say which one yet.” Saunders said he has spoken to a few corporate executives who wanted to sponsor the team, but he said they were afraid of the reaction from major stockholders who didn’t understand the value of investing in NASCAR.( Dallas Morning News , may need to register to view), see past news and rumors on a building and sponsors on my Rumored CUP New Teams .(5-22-2003)
