I thought of that too Tim but I think you answered your own question; if an owner doesn't pony up to field cars in all 3 divisions then the bonus rightly goes to the driver. But let's say Emerson Axom decides to give it a go and CMR backs him by adding a couple of Champ Cars to the stable; in that case Tim would be silly not to have Emmo sign a contract stipulating an equitable distribution of funds.
Again, all highly speculative and a lofty goal but hey, Smoke did it, JJ did it. It's still possible, even if remotely.
Anyone ever call E.A. Emmo before? Sounds like a good nickname to me if not...
