I think they wouldn't sponsership wise. It's pretty much all the motorsports sponsership ship they have in the US.Besides they haven't been that poor.
They do lose Kasey Kahne at the end of the year (it was a single year deal and he moves to Hendrick). Right now he is their highest driver in the points at 19th. My guess is that they will move to associate sponsorship on some other team. Stewart-Haas may add a team and so might Joe Gibbs, so that may take up the slack field wise.

Do you reckon Lewis Hamilton left his curse in Stewart's car after the seat swap?

Nascar is ridiculous. Always doing stuff like this. Immature actions like this, and those ridiculous adverts - I refuse to watch
NASCAR = :cow:
It's a fact that NASCAR doesnt know how to run road course races. They run road course races with oval rules and it's pretty retarded. If NASCAR doesn't shape up i'd rather see the NASCAR schedule be all ovals. The Road America race was hideous
You want to watch a proper tin top rubbing racing without being ridiculous? V8 Supercar.

There is also another problem...
Most Nascar drivers are just helpless on a road course... Yes, they can be fast... But they are not good at racing...
Overtaking at good moments for example...

NASCAR is what it is. I think it works, it's exciting, very close racing. It's the "immature actions" that make it great. They're angry rednecks driving 800hp rockets, not short teenagers driving $4m upside down planes.
With regards to V8 Supercars, I like them both for different reasons.

But I do think that full-course yellow on road course doesn't work... Except for big wrecks with lots of debris...
Other than that, don't stop the race because 1 car is stopped in the grass beside the track, that's stupid...

Hahah Greg Biffle has a navigation system in his NASCAR. NO JOKE! What does it say. Drive straight for 500m then turn left.
Incident speaks for itself guys...
Alright, by this point, I believe quite a few people know me and many probably know that I love oval racing and I grew up watching NASCAR because it was pretty much all I could get access to growing up. NASCAR's stance on retaliation has always been retarded with the exception of early 2000s when they actually gave drive thoughts under green for "wreckless driving" But their "boys be boys" attitude made me stop watching NASCAR and move over to become an Indy fan. I've always thought revenge wrecking was stupid. But I've always held some respect for the NASCAR guys even if I stopped watching because these cars take a lot of skill to drive around quickly.
But this just turned me into a NASCAR hater. I still love oval racing (thank god Indy still races on them), but NASCAR is more of a joke than ever.

By the way, with that Kyle officialy screwed over Hornaday's championship hope...
It's not the first time he does something similar on top of that... He's not even racing for points in the Trucks !

The paybacks are stupid and contributes nothing to the actual race action.
I loved NASCAR and usually stayed up to 11 pm at nights when I was 10-11 to watch the race recaps in 2000/2001.
But since last years accident between Carl Edwards and Brad Keslowski I don't watch it and it isn't because of the actual payback but because of the commentators having the guts to blame the whole accident of the rearwing...
Pathetic! I watched Tony Stewart's wreck in 2001 in which he also flipped like that but they had spoliers and not rearwings.
I think NASCAR's gonna have to do something because sooner or later a driver or someone from the audience will get seriously injured or killed and someone's gonna have to take responsibility!

Ban him from the series imo.
If you play with someones life like that. Esspcially if you consider what happened these last 3 weeks.

Strategy Mister!
Yeah, it shows a lack of respect of what happen a few weeks ago. For me I would ban him from racing altogether, in my book there is no excuse for doing that in the track.
Pretty much the picture of what i get from Nascar and oval circuits in general. The bad thing is, this guys sets an example for a lot of young drivers.
They've parked him for all races in all series this weekend, including NW & Cup. Good call, IMO. Not sure of what is to follow in the trucks.
Schumacher got DQ'd from the F1 championship in '97 for attempting a deliberate take out. What Busch has done is far far worse and he deserves a multi-year ban or even permanent ban from racing.
