One better:
The drivers put the thing together.
The drivers find a sponsor that pays for it all. What sponsor wouldn't want to have, as spokesmen, every single NASCAR driver?
The drivers share the profits, or donate them to charity.http://motorsportsblog.blogspot.com/Comment

Hiring Bill Simpson to manage it would be poetic justice.Comment

I am serious about this. Why doesn't a group of drivers approach Dr. Jerry Punch to spearhead this effort. Who knows better.Comment

Somebody will "squat" on this idea.:mad: I will be extreamly surprised to see the drivers given this much power. The sactionioning body will NOT accept something they donot have TOTAL control over.

How about a better idea? Maybe look before making a boneheaded move that sends other drivers out of the race? That way the safety teams may have a little less to do. Yes, Todd Bodine and Rusty Wallace, I'm talking to YOU...."An emphasis was placed on drivers with road racing backgrounds which meant drivers from open wheel, oval track racing were at a disadvantage. That led Tony George to create the IRL." -Indy Review 1996Comment
