| Guy Fieri to sponsor the #36 at Indy: Guy Fieri will sponsor Tommy Baldwin Racing's (TBR) #36 Toyota at the Brickyard 400 this weekend in Indianapolis, IN. The celebrity chef, restaurateur and Food Network star is a big fan of NASCAR and his logo will be featured on the hood of the TBR Camry. "I was Grand Marshall at Infineon Raceway and had an amazing time. When this opportunity came up, I jumped on it. NASCAR is an amazing way to promote my brand and I look forward to supporting Tommy's efforts to continue to build his organization. We all have to start somewhere and what Tommy has done this year, I really admire," said Fieri. Mike Skinner will drive the Guy Fieri Toyota this weekend. He will also be racing at O'Reilly Raceway Park in the AAA Insurance 200 NASCAR truck series race on Friday night, July 24th.(TBR)(7-23-2009)

I know Tommy, he was the crew chief for a couple of years for my friend when he drove a Cup car. It expensive to own and operate a Cup team (especially these days and times) and Tommy's been having a tough time with sponsorship because he's one of the "little guys" who owns just one team unlike the big guys like Roush and Hendrick. Thanks to Guy for helping him out.
