    Yes that is very true.

      Just because they are in victory lane at Eldora, if you're being serious, has nothing to do with business sense. How many great things come to an end because of financial reasons. Wether it's racing, football, basketball, etc., the business world, just because it makes you feel good doesn't mean it is meeting your bottom line expectations.

      And obviously, I, just like everyone else, doesn't know exactly how they are doing as far as profit margins.
      Up in the air who my next “favorite” driver is. Really losing hope on Bloomer getting anywhere back to “normal”.

            That is plausible.......considering the connections.

                    They are doing just fine profit wise........but somebody earlier brought up a great point, just because your busy does not necessarily mean your profitable.
                    I've seen more than one operation look busy as hell going out of business.

                    like with any new business, you put money back into the new business to help it grow...........you put the profit in your pockets later.

                    The longhorn financials are nothing to worry about.......the business is more than paying its way now and they are setting it up to REALLY be getting paid later.

                        Judging Bobby's prior business interests, when he gets bored with them, he dumps it!

                          And it doesn't take Bobby long to get bored with anything either I don't believe... But then again they just might sell the longhorn operation and start up another chassis company if bowyer flashes enough nascar cash at them.... Just a little thought is all..
                          If you can't race it or take it to bed! It ain't worth having!

                                If Bowyer does buy Longhorn and uses Longhorns for his cars I wish he would put Chris Ferguson in one. With some more backing and resources that kid could be a contender on a national series. Plus, he's a great person in addition to being a great wheelman.
