Obviously these companies aren't in the same rough shape the Big 3 are, but those names are fixtures in their respective motorsports.

Weird times if you're a car guy. Weird times even if you aren't, actually.
As someone who's followed Nascar for 30yrs trust me when I say they're very concerned about its future.I know I'm concerned.

How do the "Big 3" justify the millions they put into Nascar racing to the American people,Congress and the new admin when at the same they're closing plants and laying off thousands.They can't and that's what scares me.
