CHICAGO (AP) -- The tool maker Stanley Works is buying rival Black & Decker Corp. for $4.5 billion, the two companies said Monday, uniting two of their industry's most iconic brands.

Stanley Works' brands include its Stanley tools line and FatMax, Bostitch and Mac Tools, which are used on cars. In addition to its namesake line, Black & Decker owns DeWalt, Porter-Cable, Kwikset and Baldwin brands, which are popular with both consumers and professionals.

This sounds like it is why DeWalt is leaving the 17 team, and the reason that Stanley is stepping up as full time sponsor of the 19 car.

If they were looking for someone that could win races: Kenseth

If they were looking for someone who is good at sponsor exposure (AKA running their mouth about said sponsor): Sadler

Well, Stanley (now the parent company) already had a standing relationship with Sadler. They must be satisfied with that relationship, and didn't want to spend the money to fund two cars.

I hadn't thought of funding, so yes. Your reason would make sense.
