I think it is a lot of things. The main thing is money, but I don't think an Outlaw team can make money. Drivers can and because they race in front of some people one time a year, they can kill on merchandise. There are also more winged cars nationwide, so it makes more areas more available. I remember reading an article I believe in Speed Sport When Schatz joined Stewart. Even though the team won Knoxville, the King's Royal, Williams Grove National open , Lernerville, and the most Outlaw races, and it still lost $200,000. Like its model NASCAR it is all paid for with $ponsorship. Traditionally that is never good. Look what happened when the tire wars quit funding Indy Cars. That is when ride buying started. As for Tony, who owns a winged series, and a track in Ohio. (winged country) It makes sense, and is good business. Like him or not he has turned into a very good business man.
