    INXS have sponsored several cars .The last, I think, was with Dick Johnson in the 2004 V8 Supercar Championship.
    I can also vouch that Steve Gilpin and the rest of the guys from Misex were also motorsport crazy. They hired 5 Nascars during a tour of the U.S.. I think I may have a photo somewhere.
