I understand Chip's issue, BUT, I think it is very short sighted. Think about it for just one minute. Hire Kyle to drive your NASCAR stuff AND allow him, as time permits, to run all of the open wheel stuff he can....
Chip and NASCAR would double the fan base overnight bringing in a lot of fans to watch Kyle race AND Chip would possibly lose a whole lot more hatters !!
Sometimes, I question wether Chip is really a savy business man.... JMO
