NASCAR'S GOT THATLOOK.COM: LAST-MINUTE DEAL INKED FOR EVENTS

          Yesterday's Winston Cup race at NH Int'l Speedway  was
     title sponsored by thatlook.com, a Web site that assists
     individuals in "obtain[ing] elective cosmetic surgery,"
     according to a report in the Laconia (NH) CITIZEN.  The
     deal, which was signed late last week, also included title
     sponsorship of the other three NASCAR races held at NHIS
     this weekend -- the Craftsman Truck Series, Busch North
     Series and Featherlite Modified Series.  NHIS President Gary
     Bahre said that thatlook.com "may" have paid "more than" $1M
     to sponsor all of the weekend's events.  But for "most
     NASCAR fans, the idea of elective cosmetic surgery is an
     exotic luxury that is out of reach" (Laconia CITIZEN, 7/6). 
     In Charlotte, Utter & Poole noted that while the deal named
     the Winston Cup race the thatlook.com 300, the Charlotte
     Observer "elected to stay" with the name New England 300 "to
     reduce confusion" (CHARLOTTE OBSERVER, 7/9).
          PATRIOTS: U.S. Assistant Secretary of Defense Charles
     Cragin was interviewed during TNN's coverage of the race
     yesterday and said of driver Jeff Burton carrying a special
     insignia on his car commemorating the 50th anniversary of
     the Korean War: "NASCAR folks generally ... are very
     patriotic. ... A lot of people have referred to the Korean
     War as the 'Forgotten War.'  This gives us an opportunity to
     make sure it's not forgotten any more" (TNN, 7/9)
