make no mistake. she is there because she brings money that is used to fund the team. by that I mean the money she provides helps pay for the 14. with the 39 underfunded, Danica's sponsor is certainly helping there.

recall that the first half of the season she kept her car intact and didn't add to the workload at the shop by crashing.

so...yea. if this was Mike Bliss, he'd be canned. On the other hand were this Paul Menard with a big Menard's check every quarter, he'd be right there.

its important to remember that team income is team income. GoDaddy money is spent where Tony wants it to be spent team wide.

For instance Steve Addington likely makes 2 or 3 times what Tony Gibson makes while GoDaddy brings nothing like only half of what Bass Pro Shops and Mobil bring combined. I'd bet they are cpmparable in fact.
