If that's an honest question to me as a team owner? No, I would have stayed the course. I'm thinking it cost 35k to NOT make the race and if I had to play the "who's the first to park game"
(see WJM's thread) it would only run the expense's (NO PROFIT) up.
Double negitive, Stick to the plan.

Great choice for comparisons, you think those guys need alot of help?

Joe out qualified RG many times this year, 7 top 25 qualifying runs, RG has 4. Not to mention Joes runs a mildly successful, fully sponsored Nationwide team. If it wasn't for engine lease bills, I imagine Joe would be inside the top 35. He sure is doing alot with his chassis and some rebuild Red Bull cars.

TRG has a much stronger business base outside of Nascar than RG does, they have went alot kept racing despite mixed performances and atleast gotten past championships to ensure they make races. For the most part, they too have a full time sponsor.

To close this out, Germain Racing has been in Nascar 1 more year than RGM. Right now they have 22 wins and a championship in the Truck series. The #30, which has at times lacked a full sponsor is constantly a front runner in a series Kyle Busch failed to put together a team despite top notch equipment and a past champion.

As far as supporting RGM, I bought the Uprising and SpeedFactory gear, thats all I could do.

Since you brought up the Germain's. Do you (all ya'all) have any idea who the Germain's are? They should have the best of the best Toyota has to offer,REALLY. There are only a few BILLIONaire's in Cup racing, the France's, Germain's, John Menard are all that come to mind.The France's remind me of liberal's,they think they know better than you and are F-ing every thing up.Germain's just wants to sale cars.And John is truly a fan of racing and Thankfully a Robby Gordon fan.
