I liked Red Bull’s NASCAR team. The cars looked amazing and Brian Vickers was often fast. They’re both kind of a “What If?” for me. What if Vickers had never had his health issues, and what if Red Bull had stuck to NASCAR for the long haul?

Anyone hear anything about SHR and new sponsors they may have added? Lost some heavy hitters with Busch, Smithfield and Hunt Brothers. They are going to need United Rentals, High Point, Mahindra all add races this year. Really surprised Hunt Brothers left for Penske. They are going to need more than Haas Automation on the 10 and 41 this year.

I think SVG could bring them back as partner since they sponsored him in Supercars. However, a full on major stake in the sport I think isn’t really likely. To me the current state of the sport and business model they use isn’t conducive to major companies or brands coming in and building a team like it once was. The most succcessful brand to do it was furniture row racing with Martin Truex Jr, and his partnership with his crew chief Cole Pearn, and the teams ties with Toyota ironically. After they won a title, and the next year began talks of closing that showed me that it would be tough for any major company to do something like that again. I mean you have the businessmen like Matt Kaulig, and succcessful celebrities like Michael Jordan who sport a clothing line that has a major role in their teams, but it’s very rare anymore for it to happen. Usually people who own teams are relatively successful businessmen who have deep pockets, and lots of partnerships with brands that make owning a team possible. It just isn’t the same business model where specific brands could buy big shares in nascar teams, and use the team name to sport their brand logo for publicity.

In reply to @SiVlog1989. Plus the f1 team was using Renault as an engine manufacturer back then and Nissan was in a weird halfway merger with Renault where both companies owned stakes in each other and shared a CEO in Carlos Ghosn

@@ethanweeter2732Over $1 billion prize money is divided between F1 teams based on standings. It’s been estimated that Red Bull received a $140 million payout. Haas (last place) got about $60 million.

F1 is much more generous to the teams than NASCAR. It also explains why the teams don’t want to see Andretti on the grid. More teams – less money for each team.

In reply to @user-pv6hk9pd5y. I think it is odd NASCAR did not take Honda. Just as good if not better fit for them. Especially when Honda is big in Ohio and states that are good for NASCAR.
