Really, just what sponsors did drives bring to the sport in the sixties.?
In the sixites teams had sponsors and put the best driver available in the car to drive it. Some just had a car and looked for driver that could qualify it.
No one paid an owner to get to drive the car.
Or are you saying some well known journey-man drivers were secretly millionaires buys buying rides in cars with little chance of a top three finish much less winning, BRILLIANT!
Now to actually buy a car and start a team, some did, because some drivers were engineers that worked on their own car but that is not even close to the type of ride buying that started with CART.
