The simple answer to the original question is yes if tv ratings and race attendance don’t increase dramatically in the next two years. And this does not appear to be likely to happen. Sponsorships are totally based on those numbers. The loss of Camping World and M&M’s is huge. Not just monetarily but from a publicity stand point. It demonstrates the lessening value of sponsorship in the sport. When a two time champion from a top caliber team can’t find sponsors what does that tell us? 

One thing I feel is that the France Family i# going to have to give up some of the tv money at some point. The charter system has created a stronger more organized owner’s group. Because of the Cart-URL split travesty we will not see a repeat of that. However an owners boycott of a few races could lead to disaster. 

One thing I think that has to happen, and this applies to most forms of auto racing, is cost# have got come down. Even a hobby stock at a local bull ring will set you back ten thousand dollars to race for a three hundred dollar feature win.
