You can't lease what isnt available to lease. If Penske only has a certain allocation of motors on hand for HIS 2 fully sponsored cars for the remainder of speedweeks, then it is irrelevant the cost.

I see.

The motor that they are using will have to be a 700 mile motor. If RGM builds the motors for Dakar and the Baja 1000 then maybe it will last. Ihate to see them race with no intension of winning from a fans point of veiw.

I think he has all intention of winning, he in my opinion and correct me if im wrong TOG, but hes gonna go balls out in the race. He would make a huge statement if he won, not to mention the money would help the program out.

I could be wrong here, but I don't think RGM builds engines for the off-road vehicles..

And either way, I doubt they turn out 800+ HP like cup car power plants.

not even close to the same deal.only thing in common is being a naturailly asprated gasoline V-8 engine.
