I’ll be worried about the future of JFR if John is indeed done driving. The Peak deal is/was for him. Maybe not much reason for them to stick around if he’s not behind the wheel.
The other two cars already struggle for full time sponsorship. Procks former ride, the top fueler, parked due to lack of funding. Not easy to stay out there on sponsorships alone anymore. Just my opinion.

Some good points, Dustin. Even if Force is still out there - signing autographs, posing for pictures, kissing babies, and riding that scooter up and down the road in front if the grandstands - not sure if that is still a good return for Peak. But, if they still field an F/C that is in the winner's circle more often than not, maybe they will stay around, regardless of who is driving.

Peak has some much younger folks under their sponsorship in other motor sports so a guy like Austin would fit right in.

It's never really been easy to stay out there on sponsorships alone.
