NASCAR teams have operating expenses as well. I think it is also common knowledge that drivers earn less of a salary than they were previously paid. That's a good indicator of tighter operating budgets for most everyone, in my opinion.To me this whole thing is the equivalent of demanding a raise because your employer made money last year. So if nascar shows a loss one year will Dennis write a check to help cover their losses?
People fail to realize what operating costs of a company are. Tracks cost a lot money to run to only see one or two times a year of income.
I see this all the time at work. People think that I get paid a ton because of how much an hour we charge hourly for me to be onsite. Turns out there's a whole lot of things that have to get paid out of that money, including my salary.

All the while, NASCAR is more of a closed (just trust me) book. I think the assumption is that stock car racing stops without NASCAR and that the teams are expendable. I just don't buy into that, at least when the teams are considered collectively, and they also essential imo. Especially when NASCAR is the one playing hardball.
