JASPER REDUCES NASCAR TEAM DEAL

Indiana-based Jasper Engines & Transmissions are to pull the plug on their car sponsorship in NASCAR’s Nextel Cup.

But it will continue in its partnership with drivers Ryan Newman and Kurt Busch.

The firm follows Kodak out of the Penske-Jasper Racing team. The photographic company pulled out earlier this month.
Jasper executive Mike Pfau said: “We won't have our name front and centre on the car, but we now have the opportunity we've worked years for.
“Kodak’s decision made it easy for us.”
