NASCAR's Founding Family Is Looking Into Options On Selling Its Stake: Report

[SergeStorms]

26. I feel exactly the same way.

I used to go to at least three races a year on my own, and a buddy of mine was the corporate liaison between Kodak and Morgan/McClure Racing. I'd go at at least two or three races a year as a guest of Kodak (I still paid my own way though). That was a gas! In the transporter with Tony Glover and Runt Pitman. Out to dinner with Sterling Marlin, the McClure gang, Runt, Tony and the boys. Those were Sterlings winning years, when the #4 car dominated at the super-speedways.

Ahhh, the good old days. But you're 100% correct. NASCAR left me, I didn't leave them. It got so Kodak couldn't afford a team anymore. It cost over $20 million a year when they bailed out. They were going through corporate restructuring (firing lots of people) at that time as well. They couldn't justify the expenditure anymore. Money, money, money. It's always about money.
