What do people think about Chip letting Dario and the 40 team go because of sponsorship.?

May be...

  • I think Mr.Chips should lesve too....
  • i that dario sucked and he should go back to IRL since he is the defending chap and same with hornish jr
  • Unfortunatly this is the tip of the iceberg,look for it to happen again this year.
  • With the economy, look for more between the haves and have nots... many companies will no longer be willing to shell out the millions of dollars each year for sponsorship..
    There will be many teams un-funded or under-funded..
    Unfortunately this is going to set up NASCAR with only a few elite teams that have the resources to compete and win every week.
  • where the hell have i been.............. this is news to me.... stupid work no time for my nascar........ going to the internet too look this up........ brb...... and thank you for this question......
  • It Sucks
  • Its what happens when you put a driver in a stock car for the first time
    Dario, Stick to Open Wheel Racing
  • The truth is, it was not a good decision to let a guy fresh out of IRL run a few Busch races last year, then throw him in a Cup car. It was doomed for failure. It didn't matter how much testing he got, he needed more development in Busch.
  • they just had a couple of shows on espn about sponsorship woes in nascar, one of them being about yates racing and the other being a segment on "nascar now" about chip and dario. the big question being asked is "with reed sorenson's woes and the rumors about him not being re-signed, would dario take that seat after this year?"

    the biggest thing about this, as they brought up on espn, is that he'll continue to race in the nationwide series. but, the longer he is not in the cup car, the harder it will be to get back in, as development and learning in that car happens at such a rapid pace.
  • There will be a few casualties. I predicted a few weeks ago (and got thumbs down as well as being slammed) that NASCAR was going to have to pay a couple Nationwide teams to make sure NASCAR has 43 cars to race each week.
  • If Dario could have got the car into the top 35 they would be sponsored.

    No one wants to sponsor a car that only runs half the races.
  • Just plain somple economics at work, and the same system that resulted in him losing this ride will provide him with another one. Indy 500 winners don't stay unemployed for long.
  • I think Dario is a talented driver but chip did not have the recourse's and the money because of no sponser
