Totally different IMO and I don't see it as anything interfering with USAC at least no more than already has been done. More $$$ behind a team is about all it is. No bucks, No Buck Rogers. IMO the damage has already been done as far as cost of running a top notch team. Yet we still get locals who beat em from time to time like last years Sprint week of four first time winners in USAC.
We've had Nascar development for about 20 years in USAC. TSR with Mopar then Chevy, after KKR takes over Mopar RED BULL WITH Whitt, TRD with the KUNZ drivers.
Im sure there are several others Im missing.
All I see is RCR wanting drivers in development for future with several types of cars driven and many many laps made..
I do think USAC is missing a major part of what made it a great development for the past 30 year for Nascar and that's Pavement racing. Except for the Champ Series, there's not much left.
