Are you sure that putting up their own money, wasn't part of the deal because that's the sort of thing a series sponsor would do?

Multiple people have said Mazda came to them and proposed the idea of cash toward a ride over cash into the series as the sponsorship. They apparently did not pay toward anything but the rides in the next series in the deal.
And it seems like Indy will be continuing (and increasing from 1 to 1.1 mil) the payout from Lights to Indy and there will be future announcements about the lower series payouts,
according to Racer this morning. And it seems like the push for cost cutting has come up again and seems like they are making headway there. And the common chassis between Indy and Lights cars looks like it's on their minds again.
