Hearing that Stewart will shut down a majority of his USAC program next year too because of lack of sponsorship. Maybe just run a dirt sprint car for Levi. No pavement. No midgets. No Hines. Wouldn't be surprised to see him fire a up a Late Model program. Yikes.

He's already got a LM program, Just not in his shop.
How do you think he runs his Prelude runs and the last two Knoxville LM nationals?

My guess is they would like a bit better payoff and more exposure via TV, That or their sponsors would.

Just my guess, no facts behind it.

I just saw the ending statistics... not the actual race. Glad to hear that his race went better than I saw/expected. Brad is a good guy and deserves all the best!

With a car that Mark Richards prepares and maintains in his shop. His LM team would chase WoO points. Operate out of Tony's Brownsburg shop. Not run a couple times a year.

I heard a similar story about TSR. I hinted at it after hearing it after the Kokomo show, but no one mentioned anything. But from what I've heard, Chevy is pulling their support, so at the end of the season, they are going to evaluate the situation, but most likely, the 21 team will be gone. But, this is purely rumor as I haven't heard it from TS's mouth, so I don't know how true it is. But who I did hear it from would probably know. I could see Kasey Kahne doing something similar with Mopar leaving. They are both pretty shrewd business men, so I'm sure losing the free motors is going to make them rethink the profitability of a racing program.

The sooner they leave USAC the better off they will be.

Fast forward to about 2:23 into it. Cody Darrah throws his steering wheel at Sean Michael then goes over to his car and starts ripping the spark plug wires off. lol

Some late model org's have tv deals and so does WOO. Where's that leave USAC and their teams being able to get good sponsorship deals.
