Quote of the Day
If the charter remains nothing more than a guaranteed entry into a single event, I think then values remain where they are today. What the teams have recognized are if those charters were to become permanent and therefore basically a franchise, the values are well north of $150 million. So, you’re sitting there with a charter that’s worth let’s say $25 million and by the stroke of Jim France’s pen, it will now be $150 million.
-- NASCAR HOFer and JR Motorsports co-owner Dale Earnhardt Jr., on the benefits of making NASCAR charters permanent in the future.
