there is NO money from winning purses in off-road racing (generally speaking)! your money will come from sponsorships and exposure!

I cannot help to think if one of NASCAR's "Young Guns" was in the field what kind of coverage there would be?

None, the idiot would have totaled the vehice in the 1st stage. There are no pit stops or cation flags to fix it. If you are talking mythical, I'l take a hit of what's being smoked : ) For a better understanding of what it takes to drive in this event, read Mark Miller(ex VW Dakar driver) has to say about potential drivers from the US at RDC.

Links?

if a hummer wins it will get very DRUNK out for about a WEEK

Don't think for a minute Robby would spend a massive amount of cash for no return. He's very smart in both business and driving. Toyo didn't put the name on this truck for nothing. Hmm...this could be the cash infusion needed for his cup car, WHEN he wins!

TOYO? , Na$crap wouldn't approve the signage becouse of GoodYear.

I didn't say Toyo would put anything on the cup car....

"Toyo didn't put the name on this truck for nothing. Hmm...this could be the cash infusion needed for his cup car, WHEN he wins!"
@Dave , that's why the question mark after TOYO in my post.
A sentence like -If RG where to win, it would make for marketing oppertunities that might carry over to CUP.

Thanks for policing the site.This makes it a pleasure to post.

I read it as "If RG was to win the bonus money from Toyo would surely help out with the Cup car".

If one of two teams running out of the RGM camp "Team Speed" as the way things are inner rewards will far out weigh the outer. I can't believe that for one moment Robby Gordon felt, thought, or was in any way motivated by what he "gets". Rather this is all about what RGM has accomplished in the world of motor sports. I understand the angle of what is the prize structure and all but hell, this thing has never been about the $$$. Racing for money is a world in itself that I care not to get into but I will make this statement as far as money and the Dakar Rally goes.
He will need some cash to have a plastic surgeon or Botox to remove the smile from his face after about nine months or so if he were to win, if Nasser wins in one of his vehicles the smile may fade naturally.
Are planet members invited to the party at the shop?

P.S. Marketing Speed Energy Drink through out this whole event before, during and after for obvious reasons of course.
