CHARLOTTE, N.C. (July 1) - Co-owner Chip Ganassi has shut down Dario Franchitti's race team because of a lack of sponsorship.
(This will NOT be the last one THIS YEAR!!!)
No offense intended... and yes, things are tough all over (trust me, I know about this!!!)... but the way I read this article, Ganassi & Franchitti's lack of sponsorship was more about their lack of success on the track than lack of Coors Light beer sales or advertising budget. Franchitti was 41st in points with a best finish of 22nd in 10 starts.

Or am I missing something here?
