The rest would be painful but nothing compared to "gambling" on the right driver. @windowlicker......stories like that are the best Picking the right driver would be the biggest headache of all I would think as an owner.

After getting the boot at RCR he couldn't buy a ride (probably didn't have enough $$'s) so he sold his deceased dad's prized corvette & bought a truck from Morgan Dollar & towed it to Martinsville. He attracted some attention got some financial backers & bought another truck. He & his CC, Chad worked on the trucks in a garage. Not a garage in a race shop, someone's two car garage attached to a house. Had to park their cars in the driveway. He ran a a few races this year in the hope of attracting a sponsor for next year in order to run a full schedule. The team is now building a race shop outside Danville, VA & hopefully will be able to run every race next year. Talk about doing it the hard way. That's what racers do though if they want it bad enough. Or you could get a ride like Timothy Peters is doing it in the truck series.
