<p>Love the tweet and article from Bob Pockrass:</p>

<p>My tweets back to him. No response!</p>
<p>@bobpockrass Sponsors need TV time. What's the return on $500k if nobody sees it. TV only shows the top teams. Do sponsors pay for TV time?</p>
<p>Things NASCAR has done to control cost have pushed teams, sponsors, and fans away.</p>

<p>Due to the paltry prize money, there s no money to be made in Nationwide. The closure of Kevin Harvick's sponsored team exemplifies this.</p>

<p>It seems like we go through this at least once a month. We need some kind of banner saying RGM does not race in the NNS because it has no value in making money for the future.</p>

<p>I agree; off-road racing is my favorite to watch Robby run. Can't wait for the 250!!!<br></br> If cup and nw were at the same track for the weekend it would be cool to see Robby trade his driving for an associate sponsor on somebody car that is running the full race. No idea if the price for a driver and associate sponsorship are even in the same ballpark. At least we would see Robby have an opportunity to win, since it appears that S and P may be happening a lot this year.<br></br> But most of all…</p>

But most of all I just hope to see a lot of Dirt racing</p> Agreed Mike.tag:www.planetrobby.com,2012-03-04:2181693:Comment:5753142012-03-04T15:56:41.830Zd7leehttp://www.planetrobby.com/profile/lee

<p>The thing you gotta realise though is Joe Nemechek starts and parks his sprint cup ride so he can help fund his nationwide team effort and etc...there was a whole article on nemco motorsports news letter on it...I remember reading he actually doesn't profit anything from the sprint cup side. The only money he makes is when he has a sponsor on the nationwide side. The spare sponsorship money he gets in cup goes straight back into his team. This is what I remember from the Nemco Website</p>

<p>On top of that NASCAR increased the NW entry fee's and drivers license fees by 25% this year and the payout has not increased. In fact in 2011 NASACR reduced the NW payout and cut some of the TV money out of the NW series, which has not returned this year, Add all that to a series that also decreased the series by 2 races for 2012. Many teams who have had contracts with sponsors and that sold their sponsor package as a 35 race schedule have had to go back and deduct two races worth of…</p>

Just because you have two less entry fees, and race track expenses does not mean your shop rent, electric bills or employee salary's were reduced by two races.</p>
<p>I dont know if this is actually true or not, and I assume it depends of Sponsorship money and how established you are in the series. But I was told that percentage wise the truck series has a better profit margin then NW right now. And the tear system scale should be CUP, NW then Trucks and it is not. As most have said you are better off S&P a CUP car then trying to run a successful NW team. My understanding is this is why Harvick got out of both trucks and NW as he could have made a better return on S&P a Cup car with less overhead.</p> Really ;-)tag:www.planetrobby.com,2012-03-04:2181693:Comment:5754102012-03-04T04:58:45.652ZMike Kenyonhttp://www.planetrobby.com/profile/MikeKenyon
