The payout for a non-chartered team must be really low, or the cost of entry into a cup race must be really high, or both. I remember when it seemed at least one or two teams based on the west coast would attempt the west coast races.
I guess the Daytona 500 must have had a decent purse for the non-chartered teams. Sorta makes me think teams will be sent home for qualifying too slow only at races with a large purse (?indy), or maybe at Martinsville (speed and aero R&D are not necessariiy required).
One thing I miss about Jayski is it was easy to find when the green flag would wave exactly. I would always tune in a few minutes after to miss the “Boogitys”. If you could do that for me it would be greatly appreciated.
