There was a huge controversy involving Motorola being on the hood of Robby Gordon's self-owned #7 Ford. Because of their contract with Nextel, NASCAR would not allow Robby Gordon to put Motorola on the hood of his car as a primary sponsor. Instead, he was only allowed to put a small decal by the window net.

After much debate, NASCAR and Gordon finally reached a compromise. Since Robby Gordon was advertising Motorola as a cell phone company, NASCAR felt that it was in violation of their contract.

However, cell phones aren't the only product that Motorola sells. They also sell media players. Therefore, Gordon was allowed to advertise Motorola media players.

Answer: Office Depot
