IRL impact of House bill H.R. 1256

There's a side of this nobody is talking about. I've been reading on other blogs for a few weeks about how bill HR 1256 (Family Smoking Prevention and Tobacco Control Act) would impact Team Penske given that they are sponsored by Marlboro without on car advertisement. It looks as if the bill is a done deal.

If I read this correctly, Marlboro will no longer be able to give away the free IRL race tickets they have been giving away for years as a facet of their Team Penske advertising. Years back, before the IRL gained a little more popularity, here at the KY race free Marlboro ticket people filled ALOT of seats and there were still quite a few empty seats. It would have been an absolute embarrassment of empty seats at this race without them filling these seats 5-6 years ago. You can always tell who got in free because they hand these "free ticket folks" a red Penske hat before entry and you can see whole sections of them. I didn't see it as much at St. Pete, Detroit or Indy for example, except for a Marlboro paddock area I saw last year at St. Pete. Obviously my point is that the lesser attended races will have far more empty seats next season and these tracks would be very likely to disappear from the IRL schedule. I'd love to hear from others about the possible IRL impact of this bill about to become a law.
