Still, the point Skycafe makes is valid---they have stables of cars, and numerous crewpersons making sure there are always a couple cars ready for the next couple races plus more.
If they had to work with a crew the size of the average PC or GTC team, we'd be seeing some slim grids in NASCAR.
I recall Intersport pulling out of Sebring because Jon Field rolled up the car, while Scott Sharp could use Patron money and get a new monocoque airmailed to Road Atlanta.
If it were NASCAR, Field could have done two laps, retired with "overheating" or "handling issues," and earned more than the race winner in the 12 Hours.
Hopefully that earning gap will shrink eventually---that's part of what NASCAR's management team is supposed to help with (while the ALMS portion of the team debates changing the name again.)
