Remember that time Bobby Ginn was part of the Childress ownership group? And Chip Ganassi was a partner in that back marker Nationwide Team?

Busch’s Sponsors Exercise Influence

Journo — Tue, 15 Nov 2011 07:00:42 +0000

Journo — Mon, 07 Nov 2011 07:00:30 +0000

The responsibility over the past two or three seasons we’ve given back to the drivers came I think with a very clear understanding that there could be a line that got crossed. As annoying as the comments that I’ve made personally in the past about ‘we’ll know it when we see it’ might have been, [...]
