Answer 3

They wanted a driver who didn't crash every single race.

Answer 4

they were melting in ur hand not mouth

Answer 5

some drivers are the ones that are signed with the sponsor, but in most cases it is the team that the sponsor signs with. elliot was in the position that m&m's was signed to the team.

Answer 6

Because M&M's liked Yates until Gilliland stunk the world up. Then they went to Gibbs because they are bandwagons.

Answer 7

I beleive sponsors stay with the team and not the driver.

I think it's odd sometimes myself to see the M&M's firesuit on Kyle B and not on "The Candy Man".  But no matter who their sponsors I will stick with the both of them.

Answer 8

M&M's was signed with Yates not sadler and thier contract with yates was not over until the end of 07

Answer 9

Sponsors are signed by the owners, not the drivers.

Answer 10

Because M&M's was signed until 2007 but RYR banned Sadler from having Mars (M&M's, Snickers, Combos, ect.) sponsorship until I believe 2008 or 2009 since he left the company mid-season. Now M&M's has Kyle Busch and I don't think they will look back now.

Answer 11

There was a clause in the contract saying that M&Ms and Elliott could not be paired together for a certain period of time.  It was in place to protect Yates Racing.
