Update of Polaroid Sponsoring Nick Bollea

I wrote yesterday about my feelings when I hear that Nick Bollea (aka Nick Hogan) had claimed that Polaroid was his new top sponsoring for his car racing team. I was steamed, to say the least. Well, dear readers, here is the final word on the topic.

Polaroid says they are not backing Bollea’s 2008 race season, according to the company’s VP of Marketing. This, despite the fact that Bollea listed Polaroid Drift Team as a new sponsor on one of his latest website updates and a blog entry on his MySpace page.

On the other hand, locals have said they have indeed spotted Bollea’s car and that it does have Polaroid all over it. All I can assume is that Polaroid reacted to the outcry on the issue and pulled out of any deal they may have had with Bollea.

By the way, the reason I repeatedly write about this issue is that it is local news where I live. The Hogans are right down the road.
