Kodak is in its 17th year as primary sponsor for the No. 4 Morgan-McClure team, but rumors persist that it will not return after this season.

Because most sponsor contracts contain performance clauses, Kodak likely has an out. Sources at Dale Earnhardt Inc. deny that Kodak will sponsor the #1 car next season.( Sporting News ), see my #4 Team News and Links page for quotes from McClure about Kodak being good thru 2005 and my #1 Team News and Links page for DEI’s denial of Kodak as their sponsor in 2004.(8-25-2003)
