Red Bull leaving would be a bombshell of sorts. They seem to have their hands in all facets of motorsports; dominating F1, sole sponsors of some series and yet can't seem to make a big splash in NASCAR. Can't understand why....
Speed won at Dover in a truck; is that all they have to show?
Pretty bummed as I have passed on some options to enjoy them from up close, and am now about to start kicking myself hard.
Edit:
And yet, optimism from Jayski/ESPN:

Jay Frye, vice president and general manager for Red Bull Team Racing, said Tuesday he is optimistic that he can line up investors to keep the organization intact for the 2012 season. "We have talked to some people who have great enthusiasm about what we're doing," Frye said on a conference call. "We believe we can put something together rather quickly in 30 to 45 days. But the process has just started. We had a lot of inquires yesterday. The goal is to keep the Red Bull team continuing on the path it's on." Frye said he couldn't get specific about ongoing negotiations. He said he learned a few weeks ago that Red Bull might pull out of the sport. Frye said it's possible Red Bull could stay involved in the team in some capacity in the future.(ESPN.com)(6-21-2011)
