Be advised that the television networks might not refer to the race as it is listed. The networks will likely call some events "Nextel Cup racing presented by......" (a paying advertiser on the TV telecast) instead of the "Food City 500" due to ad buys. If a race sponsor does not buy a "sufficient" amount of advertising on the network covering the event, the announcers will be instructed to use the "presented by" term when referring to the name of the race.
