BRUMOS - SPONSORSHIP???
I understand business a little, but here i am at a lost.
How does Brumos make ends meet?
No evidence of major sponsorship... major expenses and costs related to fielding 2 DP cars...
Someone in the know in here who could shed some light?

As I understand it, Brumos might be the only truly privateer team in Grand Am DP. The entire cost of the the team is borne by the Brumos group of dealerships, with no major external sponsor involved.
No prizes for guessing that those dealerships are selling very few cars these days, so their committment to their DP campaign is draining capital. They keep writing the checks for the team despite all that.
Their win in the Rolex was especially sweet given that they are a privateer team.

Tony, I'm sure you meant 'Grand Am.' I have wondered the same thing, since the #58 lost Red Bull. I figured some really deep private pockets. I bet Hurley has a bunch of money into the team.

Nevertheless I respect Brumos' commitment and overall approach to racing, truly one of the good guys.
Something Bobby Rahal (with all his dealerships) and David Letterman aren't doing...

I think the France family helps the budget. Gary Nelson (NASCAR chief of tech) manages the operation and it is Jim France in particular who is a Porsche Freak also funded the FABCAR Porslche the Cayenne Lozano V8 etc.

Damn right, that J.C. would not be driving anything if his daddy didn't have a ton of money.
And WTF was that Grand-Am commercial before & during 24 hrs where they show him as a badass and fighting with other driver?!?!
If that wasn't 100% WWF stuff, then what is?
Total lack of class from Grand-Am although I'm sure being classy is not what they're after.
