lenny66 Posted June 20, 2011 Report Share Posted June 20, 2011 Just read this on YAHOO Sports: CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP)—Multiple people familiar with the decision say Red Bull plans to leave NASCAR at the end of this season. Those familiar with the decision also say a team official traveled to Michigan Speedway last weekend to inform industry leaders of Red Bull’s decision. The people spoke on condition of anonymity because an official announcement has not been made to team employees. AP - Jun 14, 3:57 pm EDT NASCAR Gallery Red Bull is both the owner and sponsor of the two-car NASCAR team. The team has struggled since its 2007 entry into NASCAR. Red Bull also owns a pair of two-car Formula One teams. Current points leader Sebastian Vettel is the reigning world champion and has won five of seven Grand Prix races this season.

PAPA Posted June 20, 2011 Report Share Posted June 20, 2011 If our economic situation in this country doesnt change soon I believe we will see more of this. It effects local short track racing and NAPBAR as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thumper Posted June 21, 2011 Report Share Posted June 21, 2011 Try adding a 300 mile round trip for an entry level pay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hray Posted June 21, 2011 Report Share Posted June 21, 2011 Red Bull is leaving NASCAR because they won 1 race out of 160 starts. They are staying in F1 because Vettel is the current points leader. Try adding a 300 mile round trip for an entry level pay. It costs us $100 each way. Then we still have pit passes, food and hotel. I don't care how you calculate it, it costs $1000 every time we race. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
