Where does the Scott brothers get $$$ to support 2 teams?

[MasterSbilt_Racer]

Thanks for the information for those who weren't offended by the simple question...
2 race teams with top notch equipment to race your way in through B mains AIN'T being paid by a hand full of sponsors... Just curious about the way some guys run a million dollar operation to run in the shadows...

There isn't a sponsor in DLM making a positive return on investment. It's basically a charity case.

Just because Rocket1 has Seuburt Calf ranches on the car doesn't make me want to go down and buy a Calf. Just sayin'... lol

John Ruggerio Jr....#44............look up his face book page. Crate Latemodel driver, never has anything on the car but the number 44. Most of the time number is only on top and one side of the car. Pretty much top 3 or wins every time he has entered a track i've been at last 2 years in Carolina's. Nick name (Plain Jain)...........And by the way John Ruggerio could run with anybody in the Country. I would put Money behind it.

Needforlmspeed you are right.
Just like People didn't go to lowe's and buy something because of Jimmie Johnson
Or buy a hamburger at Mcdonalds because of Kyle Larson
Or drink Busch beer because of Kevin Harvick
or drink Miller lite because of Keselowski
or even know what dow is because of Austin dillion
or buy an Oscar Meyer hotdog because of Newman
or go to Napa because of Elliot
or buy Smithfield Bacon because of Amarola
or go to Menards because of Blaney
or switch to Geico because of TY Dillon
etc...etc...etc........I agree with u

Actually, they do.

Sure. But, unless your tax rate drops dramatically, you come out behind.

Now if you were going to spend it anyway, making it an advertisement is the way to go.

A couple of years ago I was at a USMTS race when the Scott brothers were at the top. The grandmother of the Scott brothers and a few others sat right in front of me. Every time one of them was on the track she stood up the entire time.

I politely said to her something like, I understand you're excited to watch them race but I can't see anything when you're standing up. Would you mind sitting so we could see? She responded with "My grandsons are #1 and #2 in the country, I spent $1 mil to get them there. I deserve to stand up if I want to."

We ended up moving to some crappy seats but it was still better than being behind her.

Masrerbilt racer, No they don't. And what wins on Sunday, Sells on Monday is the biggest lie ever told. I don't know why u would even buy a car on Monday. Dosen't make sense. I don't give a (not a nice word)(not a nice word)(not a nice word)(not a nice word) if Jesse Jackson drives the Wendy's Ford on Sunday. If I"m hungary on Monday, I'm just gonna take my happy ass on down there and get me a Dave's double.......Along with thousands more.

I know folks that won't go in a Lowe's because they sponsored Jimmy Johnson. Folks that went to home Depot over Lowes because of Tony Stewart. Fans care about that stuff. Do I? No. But I haven't watched for 10 years or more.

Does it sell Ford's or Chevy's? Hell no. There is no correlation to what's on the track.

That when you should have "accidentally" spilled an extra large soft drink all over her sorry ass! Nothing worse than a disrespectful race fan.

Johnny won the MLRA $5k last night at Wheatland, granted not the calibre of competition as in the Lucas series. His comment in victory lane was that the Lucas guys had been whipping on them pretty good, and he and his crew needed to get some experience with the car elsewhere.
