adkmoves,

First of all I know you aren't bashing, and these types of exchanges I have no problem going back and forth with. There is an understood respect each of us has for the other.

I really think at times people here blow the whole NASCAR thing out of proportion. I think of it as more of a way to help give distributors/store owners a way to meet up at the track and talk about deals. It is also a way to get the name out there some and go around the country and hit different cities and do some marketing campaigns. I think some here blow the numbers way out of proportion making it appear millions and millions of dollars are being spent on racing. Looking at those prices they are selling those trucks for, heck I could afford to buy a couple. Then they are tossing in a rookie driver who is probably driving for next to nothing so that he can get his name out there. I also think some of the sponsors are covering different things such as all gas used/tires/travel costs etc, and I don't think it is costing anywhere near what people are making it out to be. But, until we see numbers we don't know.

I like to think of it as more like a corporate person that takes someone out golfing every weekend. Yes it costs money, but if the deals they make are more than it is costing, it is worth it.
