Agreed, the point is that the $$$$ calls the shots.
An owner will let a douche get away with murder if he brings in the sponsorship money.

If the sponsorship money goes away so does the driver.

Same thing goes in top fuel drag racing, unless the sponsor happens to also be the owner of the championship team.
More on that to come later, can't say any more until it's released to the press.
