Ya know, this thread has been bugging me also, and as far as I'm concerned, the bottom line is still $$$$, talent is secondary, or maybe further down the list, money brought to the table is still primary, Nicecar, Usac, Indy Car, these "owners" don't have boatloads of money any more, nor the sanctioning bodies, it's a price tag, just like anything else you would "buy"! Look how many are losing sponsors this year, they get used to spending sponsor money, and forget what it's like, trying to "make" money, that's when they start looking at talent! My 2 cents worth!
