Yes RP has done alot for
his self. And 80% were for
his self and built a powerful business. Much were thru connections evolved thru using small teams sponsors ect. Then the small team struggles
for dollars. Using other people has a reason. How many people on here remember Dirt cars were in the points for Indy Cars. The glory days. Then drivers from other countries came and ran the
Indy 500 and within a week went back home. Some came next year, but alot did not. Any idea who got the dirt cars thrown out. There are so many true storys like this that possible your thoughts would be different. The great thing is he never went away and always were dress great. Don't tuck your shirt in. Bye, bye. There 2 different lists.
