Who sponsors Kasey Kahne in the Nascar Cup Series?
These change from year to year, month to month, even week to week, and on an occasion a one time shot, yes you do have your stalwart sponsors such as, DuPont, Budweiser, Lowe's, Home Depot, Miller Lite, etc., but there companies who make several brands of things and change that brand from time to time, but still sponsor the same car(s), so to answer with any sort of exactitude it is impossible. Some cars have more then one major sponsor, so figure 50 cars, the front runners get over 20 million a year from the major sponsor, now consider the small decals on the fenders, these sponsors pay if the car wins and/or places. You can go in the pits and record every sponsor including small ones, next week it will change, a car had 12 altogether last week, may have 18 this week. "IMPOSSIBLE"

Does a Nascar driver use the same car in a night to night race?
The cars are always re-used, if possible. Say, for instance, Daytona 500. That winning car has to go right into the museum at Daytona speedway. Or, if it gets destroyed beyond repair, it may end up on the tour circuit. At the Local Chevy dealer we used to get Kevin Harvick's car for a weekend, once in a while, to pull in traffic. I usually had to get the damn thing started, and running, to get in in, and out of the trailer. Those were usually cars that were raced, bent up, and used for advertising. The motors are rarely re-used, without at least being gone through completely.
