Not a very practical schedule. Races every two weeks may work elsewhere but not in a country the size of the US. Also, from a sponsor viewpoint - and we had no input into this despite being the biggest sponsor (with Rockstar this past year) - we can't activate around the events so close together.
Sponsorship and expectations from it are very different over here and we expect the same output and results as we get from NASCAR......
.....now talking of NASCAR who saw the 'leak' on "Jayski" that spoke of Ford working with NASCAR to take over rallycross in the US?!?!?!? Now we sponsor the #43 Ford Fusion of Petty Motorsports in NASCAR Sprint Cup but that isn't the reason why I have been to far too many NASCAR events this year!
I can't confirm rumors but I can say as a sponsor and a fan I want to partner with NASCAR. 2012 will be exciting.....
