You betcha
He's probably not making as much money as he could be with shitty sponsorships. I don't blame him for leaving he's too talented to be putting up with that ghetto outfit. I remember the Roush championship years they we're dominating nascar...now what the hell happened to them?

Not much. They are just leading the points race for another championship.:dunno:

I do tend to agree with you about the sponsors. That's a tough deal in NASCAR. Not sure I'd call the leading team ghetto just yet.

My guess is that Kenseth is still making the same base pay, so RFR isn't netting as much (if any) because of the tough sponsorship deal.. If they can off-load Kenseth (estimated to have made $11M last year) and get Stenhouse Jr instead (estimated at low to mid 6-figures), that's a lot less sponsorship money Roush has to come up with AND it puts more money back into Roush's pockets with the sponsors they DO have / get..

I can understand the guys who are running Kurt Busch having a problem finding sponsorship for him / that car.. But, Matt Kenseth with RFR? That seems to me like they're not trying hard enough or whoever is doing the looking sucks at their jobs... :dunno:
