I would bet the decision to end Firestone's deal in the irl was taken over the head of Al Speyer.

I thought that the article stated that Ropin' Randy held the meeting with owners, or at least he was present for it.
I think you're right about the other associated costs and the fact that the decision was probably made over Speyer's head...
Will the owners' willingness to pay more for the product make a difference?
Who knows? At least the offer and their willingness to do so can't hurt any more than not making an effort at all to try to keep Firestone around for 2012.
They've got everything to gain and nothing to lose at this point, so why not try it?
