The initial injection of cash would be problematic unless Penske broke the habit of a lifetime or someone else put some cash into it, including the costs in breaking of contracts.etc. But, yes, costs would decline and partners [who could sponsor
and supply] would converge on the series, be more amenable to long term partnerships that would help bring costs down and stimulate variety over the long run.
The current backslapping arrangement is bringing stagnation and strangulation to this series and that cycle needs to be broken.
