That qualifies as little in Sprint Cup. Before you mention Stewart Haas, think Stewart Haas Hendrick. I do not think the owner of Red Bull is millionaire. I think he is closer to a billionaire but if you think Red Bull racing has an unlimited budget, guess again. I do not think Toyota is pouring as much money into individual teams as you may think. And, I am sure Red Bull is not getting ANY help from its soccer team. Jim JoeW: The key in your comment is two cars. That qualifies as little in Sprint Cup.

He is no longer at Hendrick but does team Red Bull really qualify as the "little guys"? I think not. They are backed by Toyota's deep pockets and the team is owned by a millionaire. I do NOT consider that the little guys. If he was driving for TRG or even the Wood Brothers I could see it, but not team Red Bull. They may only have two teams in Nascar but look how large a network they have in motorsports and sports in general. They have a soccer team called the Red Bulls that figures somewhere in this equation. No, Brian Vickers is not racing for the little guys. How do you figure Vickers racing for the “little guys”?
