There are some non sponsored sprint cup drivers who are going out and racing every weekend and finishing better than some of Nascar favorites. Joe Nemechek for example has no sponsorship but starts infront of dale jr and right behind kasey kane but he will not finish the race because of money. I do not know were he started last week but Mike skinner a go or go homer who has no sponsors had a top 20 finish. I think if some of these guys found sponsorships they could be a top 10, top 15 car but they don’t have the money.
Not to remove anything from anyone but if these Start & Park guys would show up to RACE, they would qualify slower Bcuz there cars would be prepared & set up to race and not for 2 extremely fast qualifying laps. Big difference.
ITS all about the money!!!
Always has been, always will be,…
I was just watching the first 10 laps of todays race. And Joe started what 31 or33 and after only 10 laps he is last! What’s the point of doing this week after week? If they can’t race ALL the race then they shouldn’t race. They should let others younger and that deserve a chance to race do so. And before you jump on me. Front Row Joe is one of 2 Jeff Gordon being the other faverate drviers of mine.
What does last place pay ? I bet it is much more than any short track win.
If you qualify for all 36 points events in Sprint Cup and collect all 43rd position $ award, you will have about 2.5 million $ at the end of the season.
Talking of Blaney:
He has started 29 Cup races this season. He’s pulled off early 28 times. In some races he’s run less than 10 miles before heading to the garage. He’s collected $2.2 million in earnings

Maybe they’re smarter than the ones that race all day, sounds like a pretty good living to me.
sounds like Dale Jr. better get his butt in gear. Thats pretty bad when a non sponsored car starts in front of a mighty Hendrick car.
Don’t worry, Jr ain’t going anywhere. Insiders say he’s worth 40 millions per year in sponsorship $. Even if Big H would fire him, they(Cup team owners) would lined up to pick him up.
I wouldnt bet on him not going anywhere, but I do agree, its all about the $. Lets just hope he does better. Far as that goes he’s doing about as good as any of the Hendrick teams right now.
i love it when jimmy johnson got lapped yesterday
some of slow cars passed him
highlight of race, that and maybe J. Gordon doing lousy!
Whatever catfish!
