GOING TO THE DAWGS -- TaxSlayer.com is sponsoring the NASCAR Sprint Cup entry driven by David Gilliland for six races this season, but the tax-return service makes no bones about placing a higher priority on supporting University of Georgia football.
The sponsorship contract with the No. 71 car excludes any weekends when the Bulldogs are playing at home.
"Going to Georgia football games is our Saturday religion," said Daniel Eubanks, a director with the company that uses Georgia's school colors in its logo. "It is tough sitting in the stands rooting for the Bulldogs with one eye on the TV watching the Sprint Cup team practice."
The exception will be Nov. 1, when TaxSlayer.com sponsors the car for a race at Talladega the same weekend the Bulldogs host preseason No. 1 Florida.
