Magic Johnson and NASCAR joining forces. Very interesting.
DAYTONA BEACH -- Basketball Hall of Famer Magic Johnson will serve as co-chairman to NASCAR's newly created Executive Steering Committee for Diversity, NASCAR announced Thursday.
Johnson will be active in a number of areas related to diversifying NASCAR's fan base, participants and work force.
"Over the last few years, NASCAR has been working with industry leaders to provide meaningful opportunities for everyone to be a part of the NASCAR community," NASCAR chief operating officer George Pyne said. "Today, we take another step in welcoming Magic Johnson to the NASCAR family.
"Magic will help NASCAR achieve its goals to better educate new audiences and facilitate greater participation among the industry and communities of color."
Magic will try to spread NASCAR's fan base.
Best known for leading the Los Angeles Lakers to five NBA titles, Johnson has redefined himself as a successful businessman. The Magic Johnson brand has become one of the most expansive and successful business networks in the country.
Johnson will assist NASCAR with creating grassroots programs, such as Drive for Diversity, that identify and develop African American, Hispanic and women drivers and crew members and help develop marketing programs to increase the sport's visibility in urban communities.
"As a child, I spent countless hours attending race events with my father, and my strong interest in motorsports is still connected to those fond memories," Johnson said. "I plan to build on the existing initiatives and develop an urban marketing strategy. This will give real opportunities for all people to participate in the sport as fans, drivers, crew members and many other positions."
The Drive for Diversity program seeks to identify and select minority and women drivers and crew members to compete in NASCAR-sanctioned races. Already, Drive for Diversity has five drivers and six crew members competing in the NASCAR Dodge Weekly Series and the NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series.
Got it Mex and replied.
You Mach, I gots nada. I signed up for the e-mail when registering and have not received anything. Please check or add me to the list. Thanks.
Let me guess,
The fifth dentist caved and now all 5 recommend trident gum?
SSWH: Ties with the Lakers means all holders of SSWH have to pull for the Lakers to win the NBA title!! It can only help sales. My guess is, LA has more shiny chrome rims than any other city in the US. A Laker championship will help boost sales!
Yes, I'll use whatever I can to convert others to Lakers fans!
OT: Hey Steaks, tough loss man. Guess we owed you one. I was out Saturday night helping run a softball tournament but was able to watch the game. I got home about 1:30 a.m., showered up, jumped into bed, woke my fiancee up and said, "How bout dem Lakers!" She was not amused!
Hey steaks, don't worry, I'm a man alone on an island for this one. The entire family is against me. I'm just bummed I didn't get in on the bet, I'd take that action! The Lakers better take care of business tomorrow night. If not, I don't like there chances in game 7.
SSWH: I'm in for the long haul on this one. This company just has too much going for it. This stock is going to reward the longs!
Thanks Doc, you may now return to your normal life!
LMAO Doc, I thought about e-mailing you but then thought, Nah, he'll probably be getting a ton. Thanks for sharing with all of us.
SSWH, Grumps I'm just glad there isn't a massive sell off going on. I'm more than happy to kick back and wait. Hopefully Doc is right and the next pr will knock our socks off and get this stock moving in the right direction.
steaks, I understand man, I was right there when Duncan hit his. Still can't believe it came to that.
Let's hope not Doc, cause all we do is corporate bankruptcy work!
Rule No 1. - There will be no laker hating on this board! I'm still in shock. I was cursing and screaming when Duncan hit that shot. Then just elated in a split second. Wow. Reminds me of the emotional swing when LSU connected on that hail mary pass against Kentucky...exact same emotional swing.
OT: Steaks, my man, what a frickin game. Can't believe it came down to that. Wow.
Actually, I've been thinking that I am going to sell all of my shares of SSWH and put the money into CMKX b/c I'm just sick and tired of a stock that doesn't move
lol, you mr. money bags, making fun of people's investment $$, I think you can afford long distance. Call me a puss, I'm not calling a stranger b/c some guy I don't know asked me to.
No, you'll have to call her
bite me ya grumpy ole fart
Tramp, I don't know if you can read RB or not but I'm having fun with the prick that had you TOS'd.
GWDL: Mach, mex, What do you make of the news about the latest SEC filing?
SSWH: Well I'll be, it sure is down. Hopefully being worked on and not just a glitch.
Thanks for making the calls tramp. You and Doc's communications with the boys are appreciated. Hopefully you can report some good news soon.
Now that's high comedy. Good one dober.
SSWH: Agree moon. Hopefully, a substantial PR about contracts will get those buyers lined up. Isn't that all we are really waiting on at this point? A few good PR's detailing contracts should keep the volume running.
Sounds good Mach, guess I'll have to check in tonight and look for a bone or two. Perhaps ole doc will throw some out regarding SSWH as well. Give me another Laker win a couple of bones and I'm a happy camper!
QBID: Wow, those no good MM's are playing some serious games today. Brought it down to .005 back to .01 and now back down. Amazing that they can get away with that kind of crap.
Steve, e-mail Investorshub, they will upgrade you to 18 posts fairly quickly
2,000 at .0085, hhmmmmmmm????
Sorry Mex, should have clarified, I have real time trading but not level 2. I can watch real time bid and ask and trades, but that's it.
Mine is working now. Spread is huge .006/.008 (eom)
Wow, I'm out of touch all weekend and I return to 199 posts that I have to catch up on. Guess we've generated a lot of interest over the weekend. Anyone care to enlighten me on any major developments????
Lori is legit. A simple google search of her name and the word "website" led me straight to her company.
Oh crap doc, not again. lol
Cool, great info. Did you notice the 5,000 shares traded right after the news hit? Any ideas?
Wonder if we overloaded the site. I can't get back in. It would certainly be interesting to learn how many hits the site got within the first 30 minutes it was up.
preciate ya doc
When I get my 350Z drop top from my profits on SSWH, I may just have to trick it out with some LSU sportswheels! The fact that they have a Nascar emblem on the wheel in the picture speaks volumes!
I'm holding tight Mach. I've decided that SSWH is an all or nothing for me. I'm staying put until some major contracts are announced and this baby really gets rocking.
Morning All
Looking forward to a good day for SSWH!
