In Nascar they use each other week to week to jockey for position. I believe for it to be honest each owner should have one car. Could you imagine a football or baseball owner. Owning two teams playing against each other? It would also bring new comers in that can't fight the Nascar monopolys. What do you think?

Not fair. I think there is a limit to 4 or 5 now. Example Rick Hendrick owns #48, #24, #5, #25 etc. WIth all of them on the track they are going to draft, block and have a better advantage to win. Where as teams like Petty & Dale Jr. only run 2-3 cars, not fair at all.

Sometimes a deal will be struck with another team that is owned by a different person/team to help each other in the race. So it doesn't matter if an owner has multiple teams or not. Deals WILL be made, be it for a drafting partner to catch up with the field after a green flag pit stop or for unused tires. This happens every where in motor-sports. From NASCAR and F1 down to the street stocks at the local track on Saturday night..

Look into the history of Nascar. Carl Keikhafer (I think I spelled that right) owned multiple cars back when they raced on the beach. This is nothing new. It's much cheaper to run two or three cars under one team than it is to run just one. Me personally, I'd love to see a three car limit to owners, but there is no way to police that either. If Jack Roush sells engines, chassis, and parts to a team, isn't that just another Roush team? Even some local short track teams run two or three street stocks at a given track. It just makes financial sense, and if the drivers actually work together, not against each other, both teams run better.

There is no limit on how many owners there can be, unlike football and baseball. In baseball 30 owners is the maximum amount of owners. You can have 1000 car owners in Nascar, all they have to do is qualify for the race. All you need is to do is qualify. It just so happens that the big teams have a lot more money to spend.

Till I saw EdP's answer I had in mind the Plymouth Superbird or the Dodge Charger both with the wings... Heck with it, IT STILL IS ONE OF THEM 2 CARS! I loved it when Richard Petty finally let the cat out of the bag with 'He didn't care where NASCAR mandated the wing angle, it was the two verticals that gave them the laterial stability that he wanted the most' Those two verticals helped the rear stick like glue, the horizontal wing although nice was on there to add stability for the uprights at high speeds. WTG Richard, and others who were the winged warriors. Did anyone remember the Hollman-Moody Tarrino Tallidaga of the same era with the extended droop frontend? {Sorry for the misspelling}

Its just like anyone who owns a baseball, football, basketball, or any team. That team is yours to do what you want with... That is why people purchase multiple cars to race with. Sure it might be unfair for the guys who cant afford to have more than one car (but that is really only relevant at super speedways if you ask me). But what about baseball teams that cant afford the big name players... Should you only be allowed 2 or 3 big name guys? noway! You have the money you spend it how you want. There should be a limit, but I dont think anyone has gone that far yet. Even if you do limit it there will be ways around it.... Such as teams offering engines, and other things to smaller teams... So there will always be issues like that as well.
Each member on the team has a loyalty to their team, but also to their sponsor and fans. Sponsors want to see wins and good behavior from their drivers, so there is still incentive to win, and lets face it, the check at the end of the day to win is much better than helping your teammate win...
I guess what I am saying is that is that this issue is not yet a problem as far as I am concerned...
Think about this... How many teams did anything last year that you can remember to help their teammates win? The one thing that comes to mind for me, is when Vickers crashed Jr and Johnson to get his first win... I hope this helps point out that there is not a problem yet... Some of you will say that teams exchange setups with each other as well, but not every single driver can drive the setup of his teammate...

it's not really about teams when they are out on the track.. they'll help each other out but at the end of the day each driver is out for a win. yeah, they share engine shops and probably swap secrets about a lot of car stuff..but for the most part they'll stick together on the track until it comes for a win..and then it's every man for itself.
i think you have to have multiple car teams anymore b/c of the cost of the sport and whatnot. look at the one car teams trying to make it?? they just aren't pulling in the money to support themselves..

It's all about winning if you don"t have the money go back to the dirt track's--It's all all about money --this is a business this is not your saturday racing that coast maybe $2000.00-this is nascar
coast per race $2,000,000 and that is before you even get a pay-check even if you do...

It is the same in all forms of racing, from Indy cars to horses. Who really cares how many teams you own.
