7 thoughts on “Subway Ends Relationship with Daniel Suarez

  1. This is not the first time nor the last this will happen, it is called a conflict of interest.

    In the 1980’s J.D. Stacy was sponsoring Terry Lebonte when he drove for Billy Hagan and after a particular race Labonte pushed in a competitor who had run out of fuel. Stacy didn’t like that so he terminated the sponsorship of Labonte’s car.

    I also remember a race at North Wilksboro that Earnhardt had crashed out of and Richard Petty needed a relief driver. The STP team asked Earnhardt, he said yes but his rep said no because of a sponsor conflict.

    So this goes both ways and this is why drivers have reps hanging with them so I put the blame on the PR representative, not Daniel Saurez.

    1. Correct. And more recently, Danica Patrick pumping a competitor’s fig bar on social media when she was under contract to Nature’s Bakery to pump their fig bar. This stuff is all actionable in court and given the recent history of Patrick one would have though Suarez and/or his handlers would know better. Fast food is fast food. Period.

      1. Very true Sol. There are so many conflicts that we may not think of immediately, but the team reps should be versed on this. Thanks for reading!

    2. Thanks for reading Jeff. These are great examples you have provided. One of my first thoughts too was “Where was his handler?”

    3. Show me the conflict of interest between a donut and a subway sandwhich, I have to hear this. AND no it dosn’t happen all the time.

      1. Actually Rick, it is not a matter of comparing donuts to sandwiches, it’s conflict between the brands. Dunkin sells sandwiches in addition to doughnuts. Subway is also trying to gain market share in the the breakfast segment, which Dunkin has a strong presence. Therefore, they do compete for market share in the same trade space.
        Thanks for reading!

  2. The problem starts with overpaid drivers and a sport that now requires millions to have a team. Tell the sponsors to keep their money and lower the prices of the products and go back to old school racing.
