Finally some reasoning. "We're going to sue you because your system is unfair, but please let us operate under the unfair system until we can try to squeeze some more money out of you in court"
But is keeping him in an Xfinity car going to prepare him? The cars drive wildly different and there's very few top level drivers in that series to learn from. SVG himself said the year in Xfinity did nothing to prepare him for cup because the cars are completely different.
This should come as a shock to no one. He was on a one year contract, which showed little confidence to start with. By the time June came around and he wasn't signed it was clear he wasn't coming back.
Personally I think they threw him a bone and waited until the Mexico race was in the rear...
Obviously they plan to add a charter, but who they putting in the car? Heim seems tied to 23XI right? Whoever shows up with the biggest check? I mean let's be honest that's why Riley is in the 35.
I really dont understand how this thing hasn't been thrown out already. I'm baffled how these teams can even make this argument while adding teams. Like I've said all along. "Boy this system is so unfair, give me more please!"
