They'll spend money sponsoring racing cars and what not but spend money on top quality baseball players?

You're joking right? ?

the worst thing about it is it isn't even the guy who was just in the booth giving an interview about nascar. tony robbins or whatever.

All the White Sox international draft pool money was just traded to the Marlins for the rights to that exclusive Sox NASCAR sponsorship for the remainder of the racing season…Miami owner apparently has F-1 as well Miami Grand Prix and NASCAR interests.

”We’re certainly hoping to reach out to a new demographic of Sox fans who aren’t responding to our traditional marketing approaches after such a tough start to the 2024 season,” offered Sox GM Chris Getz encouragingly.  “We believe this will broaden our appeal as another window of unlimited financial flexibility slowly but surely opens…”

I understand the need to advertise in any business. And I doubt the "baseball staff" was much involved in this venture to say it's a distraction.

According to officials, the race brought in more than $8.3 million in state and local tax revenues in 2023, with 52% of attendees visiting from out-of-state for the event. The broadcast was NBC's most-watched NASCAR race since 2017, and the most-streamed race in NBC's history.
