you would know he only pays about $5000.00 a race which is dirt cheap compared to the hundreds of thousands others pay.


Allow me to unspin this unfortunate generalization.

Nobody is offering Mike Harmon hundreds of thousands of dollars to sponsor his vehicles. The big money figures are for top names with top cars that run full races and have a chance to win. If Weber was paying $5000 to get on Jimmy Johnson or Dale Jrs car, it would be something to brag about. Paying $5000 to get on a POS car with an irrelevant driver that only turns a dozen laps before parking it and even isn't trying to compete isn't a bargain, it's an indulgent waste of money. There are much more effective ways to spend $5000 a week in marketing cash at this point.

IMO
