Racer reports Dano Davis kept the rights to the Brumos name and the racing heritage collection. Hurley Haywood says Dan is "over" racing, so the name does seem like it's going the way of the buffalo. The car collection stays in place for 2 years, then moves, at which time Haywood's comments suggest part of it will be sold, with Dan retaining the best of the lot. He's a big car guy, but I don't know whether his sons are as into it. Sounds like you are right, Stefan.
The big chains are on a buying spree right now, and if you're the owner, it might be time to cash out. Hate to see it happen, but it's part of the process. When was the last time you saw a "gas station" that did vehicle repairs?
Hurley Haywood said: Dan was comfortable selling to the Field group because they have similar ethics, and the Field group will go on and not disrupt all of our great management and staff in the dealerships," the legendary driver and Brumos VP told RACER. "And as far as Brumos goes, Dan has retained the rights to Brumos, so he will continue to hold that name. Whether you'll see us in racing...I doubt it. He's over that, and I'm too old to continue racing, but we wanted to protect that name so it didn't show up at some used-car dealership... "We'll still have the museum with the cars in it for the next two years, and by that time, we should find a new space for those cars and all the major cars will stay with Dan.
