That's crazy Didn't Simpson just start up this company a few years
ago.Could it spill over to the Simpson products Leopards don't change there

with Alpine Stars. Guess this sport can be a little more dangerous than we
think Book em DANO and loose the key.
It will be interesting to see how many NASCAR drivers are wearing the
product this weekend. rob
