    Default Racing industry jobs issue

    Ok folks. This new NASCAR race car is suppose to make it cheaper on race teams. Teams buy all parts from NASCAR. Teams will have less cars overall. Big teams can go from around 450 employees down to around 125. Where are these folks going to find other jobs? What happens to parts suppliers ? I think all will be affected.

    Guess it depends on just how "stock" you actually want to make "stock" car racing again.

    I'm friends with several that have gotten out of it entirely because it's just not sustainable anymore.......the point of diminishing returns has lapped the field in the racing industry.
    Anyone that wants to stay in it better start getting creative.....or create their own niche within it.

    Racers will bankrupt themselves if the sanctioning bodies allowed them to. I use Bob Memmer as an example a lot, but that was his thought behind not allowing backup cars to be used at UMP events. In theory, a guy could use a small trailer and only carry one car. That saves money for racers on multiple levels.

    Funny thing about those electric cars...

    Toyota admitted just the other day that in ten years, the overwhelming majority of the cars they sell will still be gasoline powered.

    They’re just the first to back off their electric car claims.
