in the article about NASCAR in USA Today. It talks about the mergers going on with team owners to try and stay competitive. I guess the group that owns the Boston Red Sox bought 1/2 of Roush for 62Mil !! Another owner was quoted as saying it would take a new investor 30-40 mil just to start a new team, and that wouldn't necessarily guarantee success. On top of that, TV ratings are still falling. I bring this up because while I really don't think drag racing could, or should, for that matter, be as big as NASCAR, I think there is still an opportunity to be bigger and more profitable to owners and drivers than it currently is. Not sure if this HDP acquisition is THE answer, but now is certainly the time for something to happen. It just blows my mind to read about these numbers in NASCAR, yet drag racers at the pro level continue to scrape together enough to stay out there.
