Nascar Economics again. Little sponsorship, you got to find a way to bring income in, and if that means bringing a 2nd car and doing the valet, then so be it. And to why Robby is in the 07, its because he obviously is a better qualifier then PJ.

I am wondering if this also has to do with pay. Would Robby make more money in the 07 than PJ?

No, Robby just feels he has a better chance of making the race than PJ does.

I expect to see more races that RG brings 2 cars to the track.

I disagree..but i'll compromise: Folks should plan on the 2nd car always being a s&p.

If Robby gets the 07 in the show then I would expect him to drive the car one lap longer than the other stop and park cars.

I'd expect they could do this any weekend they wanted to in order to generate extra operating income. I'm surprised other single car S&P teams aren't at least trying it, unless they only have that single car in their haulers.

TOG - Since they need to have a 2nd "crew" in place, are they recruiting a nationwide team that's already there to look the part, or does RGM typically bring enough pit crew/equipment to cover two teams each weekend?
