http://www.competitionplus.com/drag...hra-dodge-program-to-have-a-nascar-connectionAnyone know what Lohnes was referring to on the St. Louis broadcast when he said those two cars will be running next season but maybe not with the same affiliation to their current team? Or something to that effect.
I seen where Rick Ware Racing has signed on with Doug Stringer on Clay's ride. I'm also confused.I do believe the NASCAR connection is Rick Ware Racing. Not sure if he is connected with the new Capps/Hagan rumors. I did not watch the broadcast yet but there has been rumblings over the last year that DSR could be coming to an end. Nothing official but have seen references to the rumor but nothing solid. Megan Schumacher is supposed to take over the racing teams so maybe that could be happening in 2022. At this point I’m just really confused!
Yes, I believe that is the new nascar connection in the rumor mill. Also heard he may become more involved than just this deal.I seen where Rick Ware Racing has signed on with Doug Stringer on Clay's ride. I'm also confused.
I don't think I would read to much into that because Chip and Don have been friends for a long time. I remember back at least 15 years ago when Bob Bode and I were standing at the back of Bobs pit and a car pulled up behind Prudhomme's trailer and Chip and his entourage got out and walked into Don's pit and hung out for a few hours.I know Gannassi is getting out of NASCAR but Don Prudhomme was with him at the Long Beach Grand Prix.
You do know the team is named Stewart-Haas, he is one of the owners of the team, It was Haas before Stewart (with Chevy money) bought into the team. Gene Haas is also the owner of Haas F1, which is his Formula 1 team. A lot more than a now and then sponsor.Okuma is switched out for Haas CNC as the every now and then sponsor and Stewart can stack the manufacturing center with Haas equipment.
And I believe Ken that the salaries of the drivers isn't included in the $145,000,000 budget cap.Considering the cost to run F1 is somewhere around 20X the amount it costs to run a TF team I would cut HAAS some slack. Just the fact they have an F1 team is an amazing feat.
Formula 1 introduced a budget cap for 2021, set at $145 million. What is TF 6 million or so for a multi car top team?
PS I work for Japanese company, we make all of Haas's linear bearings for their machines and we make a lot of them. It is hard to believe HAAS builds so many machines that we need to run their bearings 24/7 to keep up with them.
