No I am not joking. Cruz has stated it himself. They don't have the ability to function as a 2 car team because Tony's budget never matched his, hence they cant run the same. Hopefully we have yet to see what this K-Love deal means as yesterday was not really a day to judge potential

Last time i checked they where a team when Tony won the championship 2007????
I was not going that for back. Obviously 2007 and 2008 were great years for the Brothers both winning titles. Both also did not even have to think about trying to make ends meet then. Tony has been short on the budget since '10 and after today, it looks like things are coming along.

Yeah, way back in 2007-2008. Whew, who on earth could remember that far back.
Both teams under one roof in the same building not sharing info because of different levels of primary sponsorship? Not likely. No matter which team had more backing $, and which had less, they both still benefit from sharing info & data.
The only way that Cruz could have meant that they are not a "team" with Tony is that they each separately own their respective teams and while finances are not shared, info and data are. Both teams share associate sponsors, and it would be in the best interest of all for the two teams to cooperate. This would technically be considered an alliance between two team owners, I suppose, as opposed to a team with several cars with one owner.

Steve all I am saying is it's from what I read out of a magazine from a well know drag racing journalist 2 months ago with the quote being, "we really can't operate as a 2 car team because Tony's situation really doesn't let him run as hard as we do." You dont have to be a wise ass to me. This is not my point of view that I brought in to this, this is sharing documented quotes.

Patrick, you went from "Cruz never considered his brother as a team since the budgets never equaled" to, "I was not going that for back." to, "all I am saying is it's from what I read out of a magazine from a well know drag racing journalist 2 months ago with the quote being, "we really can't operate as a 2 car team because Tony's situation really doesn't let him run as hard as we do."
Next time, instead of saying "never" when you meant "for the last couple of seasons", just be clear and come right out with the original quote from the magazine article. That way, I wont have to waste time being a "wise ass".
Now, I'm gonna go watch Vegas on ESPN3.
