Passing along racin writers doom-n-gloom

NASCAR's Future: Fewer Owners with More Cars
by Godwin Kelly August 09, 2007

The push is on for car owners to reach NASCAR's four-car limit as quickly
as possible to grab the marketing space available.
Why is reaching the four-car limit important?
In the next two to five years, there will be six to eight four-car teams
and those teams will supply parts, pieces and technology to the majority
of the other teams.

Here is the formula for the NASCAR's competitive future: Fewer teams with
more cars + most of the technical know-how + majority of sponsorship
revenue available = a less dynamic series.

"The end result of all of this will be a few owners owning all the cars,"
Penske Racing president Don Miller said recently. "If you look at the
history book, in any other automobile racing series that is not a good thing."

CRU: Basic math suggests that for 43 car fields, there needs to be 11 Owners X 4 cars.
I'm not sure how this is so different from '07. What bothers me is how doom-n-gloom
national racin writers have such poor math skills.

fewer owners means more power for those owners. once the field is
permanantly filled and no others are allowed to play those owner have
control.
bernie ecclestone took over F1 by creating FOCA{ formula one constructor's
assc.} they threatened a strike and FIA caved.
NASCAR can bully 40 small teams, 8 very big teams can push back.
