Nothing like a couple shakes of sponsor poaching for some seasoning.

It would be interesting to know how all that played out. I thought Josh and the R+L guy were buddies and that deal was Josh’s deal as long as he was racing. But maybe the cost to be on the side of the Force car compared to what they are getting to stay with Freeman is significant, who knows, but I hate the sponsor poaching. R+L had a win win either direction they went, be on one of Forces cars, or have Tony Stewart represent your company, not a way to lose either way

I'm not sure what the business model is nowadays, but there was a time where JFR and a couple others could offer more visibility with the similar amount of finances. Ask me how I know...
Also, why would a trucking company not want to be involved with a team owned by an "old truck driver"?

I agree Tony, would be a perfect fit for JFR. I imagine the new Elite team will get a ton of coverage, it being new, Erica testing in the car, Tony Stewart being the driver, possible matchups with his wife, etc etc. There is no doubt they will get a ton of air time win or lose. And I can imagine Freeman offered them some space on the PS cars as well
