That's the case with all major brands of racing these days. Yes, there are some drivers that slip through the cracks and make it on their merits in racing but even in NASCAR, how many drivers are there on someone else's dollar? I can name quite a few off the top of my head. If you don't have cash or bring something to the table in the form of sponsorship you're at a great disadvantage. Not saying it can't be done because many have and many still are but it's a tougher route to make it on talent alone anymore.
