“Part of our difficulty in putting a deal together is we already have a Pennzoil car, a Mopar car, a NAPA car, a Matco Tools car, so I can’t go to anything automotive to get a sponsor,”
You NEVER see Matco Tools on Capps team as it just "disappeared" after Carlyle Tools was pushed by Napa to be on the car. I understood why. The same can be said for the entire DSR Organization with the Mopar relationship, expect for Antron Brown and Toyota. Capps team represented matco for about 10 years until Carlyle came in (I believe 2014), and it seems like they said, "we are fine with the Matco link, just keep it off our car.“ I believe Anton got with Toyota before the giant deal dsr has with MOPAR now (I believe 2011). Like Carlyle, Mopar/Toyota both know of the others existences and seem fine with it by "Just keep it off our car."
How come Tony cannot go out and pick whatever he can get? Capps seems to have no conflict of interest issues. Brown owns his on team (A little hard to see how), he does not seem to have any conflict of interest when he was/50% is employed by Don, and the confusing part of him having his own team now. He is still in high association with Mopar, running out of a MOPAR based team who have FIVE STRONGLY linked teams and he is the Auto outlier.
