Monster !!! sponsorship????

Seems Force racing specifically the TF car of force racing has picked up Monster Energy Drinks as a major sponsor and an associate sponsor for the rest of the herd--- Thought NHRA specifically ruled that ABSOLUTELY no other energy drinks other than those of the Coca Cola Company would be allowed to have any signage (advertising) appear on uniforms/haulers/race cars/ race track premises--TOTALLY VERBOTEN!!!!!- OK what happened??? Is it JFR racing or what- curious minds want to know --FED 387

Hummm! What has changed?
As of Aug. 2014:
http://www.coca-colacompany.com/pres...ic-partnership
Still no room for Gatorade or Red Bull

Coca Cola owns the distribution rights to Monster.

Didn't Kenny Bernstein loose his Monster Sponsorship because of this rule? This was when Poweraid ran the show? This is Coke owned correct?

PowerAide and RockStar are on the Wiki list, but I don't see Monster.

EDIT: In August 2014 Coke bought a 16.7% stake in Monster. No news that they have sold it, so Coke is a part owner of Monster.

Dale,
It looks to me like they just bought into the Monster brand and are doing the marketing and distribution. (15% share) I don't think it will carry the Coke-A-Cola branding. Coke will still have it's own brand of power drinks. Monster will still be it's own company and brand. I could be wrong, but that is what I think I see.

well after looking into this deal it seems Coke bought a portion( 16%) of Monster for $2 BILLION CASH to get the Monster "juice" business and it looks like they are going to divest their (Coke's) energy drinks to Monster Co.---so technically its " in house" and not a violation of the ruling prohibiting other energy drinks. Wonder what would happen if another company say Pepsi bought the other 85% what would be the outcome???
