Until GM and Ford get back on their feet, I would think that kind of money going out would be one of the first things they would stop.

According to the article I read, Ford is saying that they are evaluating the investment, but the level of commitment is not changing for next year. Toyota said the same thing, Dodge left it open. What this means is if Chevy pulls out of Nascar next year, Ford and Toyota are not going to sponsor those teams and that leaves just Dodge to sponsor all of them. I don't see Dodge sponsoring all current Chevy teams. Way too much. This means we could possibly get back to non manufacturer sponsored teams.
