No team can survive forever without the help from the terrific corporate partners who so patiently support the sport of auto racing. The only thing growing in the Busch Series is the budgets of the teams that are still around. Pressure is not what adds cost, but increased pressure means increased wear on internal engine parts. Increased wear on the engine parts means parts are more prone to break, which means you have to buy more engine parts. That is one way our budgets have gone up in the Busch Series, but not the only way.
Travel is never cheap for teams.
That gets expensive really quick. One way to cut costs is to drive to certain races that some teams might fly to. The problem comes in race locations. In 2000 the Busch Series visited Myrtle Beach, South Carolina and South Boston, Virginia. Although the facilities were very old, the location was perfect for driving.
