Changes are coming at R.J. Reynolds’ Sports Marketing division, with NASCAR’s switch to Nextel as the stock-car series sponsor, and, sources say that Rich Habegger, RJR’s well-respected operations manager for sports, is expected to move to Nextel to help in the transition. It is unclear how many of his employees may move with him. After so many years of red-and-white as the official colors of NASCAR, the possible new color scheme won’t be far off – maroon-and-white.( Winston Salem Journal )(7-24-2003)
