Comments on: Big Team vs. Small Team: Working in NASCAR’s Trenches http://www.thenascarinsiders.com/2008/09/14/big-team-vs-small-team-working-in-nascars-trenches/ A blog by insiders for outsiders Thu, 09 Feb 2012 00:03:01 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: Journo http://www.thenascarinsiders.com/2008/09/14/big-team-vs-small-team-working-in-nascars-trenches/comment-page-1/#comment-1028 Journo Mon, 15 Sep 2008 23:24:47 +0000 http://www.thenascarinsiders.com/?p=183#comment-1028 CVT - while that is true in the Cup Series, that is not the case in the Nationwide and Truck series. Beyond maybe Furniture Row and BAM there really aren't any small teams in the Cup Series. Truck and Nationwide though is dominated by small teams that have a chance to win and do win regularly. As far as being on the downslope of your career or just gaining experience I know a lot of people who work for small teams in lower series by choice. These are people who have experience in the sport and are not interested in the BS that comes with working at a team like Roush Fenway. In the end a large team can never operate like a small team. There are too many people and there is too much money for that to happen; this is not what I was suggesting. I think I painted a pretty fair picture of the pluses and minuses of working at both types of organizations. I promise there was no deeper meaning.

If you're on a small team it's because you're learning the ropes and working toward a job on a big team, or you've been on big teams and are on the downslope of a career. If you're suggesting how nice it would be for a big team to act like a small one, well don't hold your breath.
