I don't know much about sponsors, so I don't how accurate that kind of statement is.

That would make sense, since sponsorship (read that money) is the real driving force of auto racing! This isn't like it was in the old days, today, unfortunately, "Corporate America's" BIG dollars drive and run the sport! They don't get their way, you tick them off and they pull their sponsorship, that puts your car/team "on the trailer" faster than anything else on the face of the earth! The sad truth about racing (and all other sports) today! "BIG MONEY/corporate sponsorships have RUINED it!
