Wanting that Subway sponsorship

Leavine started out small, went with Chevy and he had a number of drivers race for him. Hendrick paid him to take Kahne off of his hands and he got sick after 25 races. He averaged 23 place. Regan Smith filled in for the 11 remaining season and he averaged 23rd place average. So in 18 he switches to Toyota, says he is going to get more support and has DiBenedetto for the whole season. Don't know for sure but I think Matt was picked by Leavine to race the car and they did better averaging 18th place for the season and a ranking of ten places better in 22 place than with Chevy the year previous. In 2022 the price of tea in China went up when the Toyota development driver Christopher Bell showed up with the whole support crew entourage. Bell's performance wasn't as good as Matt's only two top 5's compared to three from Matt the year before. I guarantee Leavine's costs shot up having to take Bell and company and his income went down steeply. Without more "support" to supplement the increased costs he was doomed
I think most teams, including the big ones, got hand outs.
NASCAR did forward payments to teams, but that's the extent of my knowledge.
Do you think Leavine had a choice to take or not take Christopher Bell and his support team?
Fennig was in charge of the superspeedway program for Roush.

Gosh, Jimmy Fenning has been at Roush forever.
It's like the Frank Williams and Patrick Head of NASCAR.
I know he claims he does, but you have to remember he's not the sole owner of that operation
I don't know his financials before this deal but I have heard the saying "Beware the Devil You Deal With" This is the second team to go under who went with JGR. The third team is just getting started so we wait and see what goes down. Joe is no spring chicken.
Good car, good sponsor backing, I mean he could be a lifer in the Xfinity Series.
And hopefully no expectation to move up to Cup before '24 or so.
Absolutely not -IF- you're with a team that's looking to field a lifer X driver, not one that historically has used its X car for driver development.
Elliott Sadler drove for JGR for about two years with his financial backing, I could see Daniel doing the same thing.
Harvick or Almirola could retire but I don't see Herbst in Cup. But I could be wrong a year ago I didn't see Briscoe or Cindric having the years they had.
Full-time?!? Wow, when I heard the rumor about Hemric to JGR some weeks ago I thought it would be a 10 race deal at best. Certainly didn't see this coming with the terrible season Hemric had.
I have watched Herbst make some pretty good runs however I am not surprised that he wasn't top dog simple because he wasn't anointed. Going to be a hard for Bell the next few seasons. He has to get past the win or crash mentality.
