Jegs is owned by a private equity firm that will squeeze every dollar it can from the company. My bet is that Greenwood borrows heavily against Jegs and pockets the money. Then they liquidate Jegs.

Racing and sponsorships are just money out of Greenwood's pocket.

 

[Jer]

Im sure he has enough money to race without sponsors lol

As angry as this stuff might make us, it is wise to consider Jeg's 50+ years of NHRA support.
Lucas and Summit could easily follow Jeg's business path.

Can't see the story over there. Tired of having to pick which pictures have a lion in them just to get on their website. When they fix it, I'll go look there again.

Sounds like a scene out of the movie 'Goodfellas'.

Jeg's won't support NHRA? If yes, I know where 100% of my business is going

Either that or be hacked.

That may be with CP for awhile. They just got through suffering a major DDOS attack and Bennett apparently has stepped the security up a bit. I got on without the lions but some algorithm had to pass me through a 'secure site' check first.

And that full screen advertisement pop-up that appears when you first land on the site that forces you to scroll down several times before you can see their content is annoying as hell, too. (at least on desktop version, anyway.

if a changing business leaves a void, it will soon be filled by another/others
edit: thanks for the political lesson nick.

the beauty of our democracy. if a changing business leaves a void, it will soon be filled by another/others

What you are describing is free market capitalism not democracy. Democracy is mob rule and not what this country is built around. We are a representative republic who use to subscribe to a total free market capitalism model. That’s what made this country prosperous, powerful and exceptional, like no other country in history. Not so much nowadays though.

Similar but they do it legally.

It is what private equity did to Toys'R'Us and a bunch of other companies.

Do we need to be reminded what good conservative capitalists did to nearly all the race tracks in Southern California since 1968?

Please stop the politics in the NHRA forum.
There is a forum on this site for discussing politics. But, for some reason, when a thread is moved there, it dies a quick death.

If I'm Freeman i would be trollin' the sportsman pits, immediately, trying to find racers that want to step up to pro stock. he's gonna need to recoup that jegs money at some point !!

I wonder if Butner will return to Ps as well.
