"Junior Johnson who had lost his Ford deal, approached the R.J. Reynolds Tobacco. Co. about sponsorship for his team. At the same time, NASCAR was courting the tobacco giant about sponsoring the entire NASCAR Grand National series. Due to a new congressional mandate, the tobacco companies were no longer able to advertise on television. They had huge advertising budgets and a lot of that went to auto racing starting in 1971."[1]
