Why would you come so far and do so good only to come to this

Unsponsored leader

Dave Blaney had the No. 66 Prism Motorsports Toyota in first place after staying on the track while everybody else made their first round of pit stops.

But there wasn't even a crew in Blaney's pit. can you believe that?

After 43 laps to go through his first tank of fuel, and gaining five bonus points for leading a lap, Blaney drove his car into the garage and parked for the day. He finished 41st.
Do you know the cost of entering and one set of tires? sure hope the pay for 41st was up there in numbers.
Actually he was paid $102,000 for his efforts and ran only 43 laps but he did lead 3 laps though but is this racing? You tell me

They made money doing that but Nascar has finally had enough of it. What should we expect with the way things are in general. It is an embarassment to the sport but how can you force a team to run or try to run a full race ?I know. You have to have a full time sponsor to enter a Cup race. Heck lets go to the Nationwide Series and run, we might even win a race if half of the Cup drivers do not enter the event.
