Same old stuff that has always gone on. Here are the rules ... see if you can break them !!! |
Yep. The operant phrase is "On paper." In the 2006 NASCAR Press Guide, the #17 is listed as being solely owner by Jack.
In an interview I heard a couple weeks ago, Mark said that Roush "gave" the #17 the Mark when Kenseth came up as a rookie. As soon as NASCAR raised the owner limit to four, and Roush dropped a team, Roush immediately took the #17 team back.
Mega-teams...Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!!!
I predict the present limit of four will remain and that will be the maximum number of teams one owner may have when NA$CAR begins to franchise the teams, in...??? 2009, 2010?
