"Team Rahal and Honda are close to striking a deal that would see a
2-car IRL effort with drivers Kenny Brack and Shinji Nakano. As we
understand it, Miller Beer will be one of the sponsors and Honda’s
Twin Ring Motegi track another. Miller Beer is owned by Philip Morris
and Roger Penske sits on the board of Philip Morris."
But keeping with champweb tradition it is wrong about Miller being
owned by Phillip Morris. It was sold to SAB earlier this year.
First Penske now look at it. It is like a bunch of rats trying to get
off of sinking ship.
