And we haven't even raced the 500 yet.
Jacques Villenueve will apparently be replaced by Mike Skinner because, well, Villenueve still can't drive a stock car and doesn't have a sponsor. From the way Mike Brown's quote reads, it sounds like driving ability is a distant second to having a sponsor.
Sure, that's the way it is and the way it has been in all levels of major racing (like the way Willie Allen got booted out of the Thorsport ride in the Truck Series), but to have a team general manager basically admit the actual reason is eye opening.
Why can't Toyota slap some dealership logos on it like they do for Skinner's truck. Is it really that hard? With all of the support that Bill Davis is getting from Toyota, I can't imagine that he's losing that much money on that second car anyway.
