If you come in dead last on the first race, you win 1/4 of a million dollars. So this is a perfect time to try a run--no competition for entering a race.<BR/><BR/>On top of that, as an owner, the owner gets to share in the tv revenues, that would be in the hundreds of thousands for a one car owner.<BR/><BR/>There are lots of drivers out of work. Tommy does not need to win, so he can get someone who does not have a job, but has experience. <BR/><BR/>Sponsors--instead of charging $20mil (like Jeff's #24) for the hood of his car, he can charge can charge 1% of that.<BR/><BR/>This might be the best time for a start-and-park to get some operating money.<BR/><BR/>Smart Tommy!!
