Technically LEGO is known as an associate sponsor. Shell remains the
primary sponsor for Kenny Breck's (I thought it was actually Brack) car.
One thing about the wreck, it resulted in a ton of TV time for LEGO (what

shown on all of the major sports networks (ESPN, CNN/SI, FoxSportsNet) last
night with the LEGO logo prominantly displayed.
