WOW!!!! This whole business model is simply unsustainable in a downturned economy. The price of racing goes UP. The ticket prices go UP. The prize money goes DOWN.

to what extent does the Brumos dealership fund the race team?

also, IIRC, the owner of Brumos also owns a chain of grocery stores but you never see them sponsoring the team, why is that?

anyway, I hope they get what they're looking for, great team and a legend in racing. would be a shame to see them go away (again).

kind of late in the day to be begging in the WSJ for sponsorship, IMHO
Demonstrates, again, where professional road racing is in the USA in terms of the money pyramid, with NASCAR at the top, WOO, some distance down, IRL another couple of steps down, and ALMS/Grand AM way down, with World Challenge largely self funding?
