In an interview Sunday night on [SPEED’s] ‘Wind Tunnel with Dave Despain,’ Sprint Cup Series team owner James Finch said ‘there’s a question’ whether he will be able to run the full Cup season with driver #51-Kurt Busch. Asked by Despain if there was a question whether his team could do all the races, Finch answered: ‘Well, we ‘re trying. There’s a question. We ‘re off and running and trying. We ‘re talking to some people and going from there. We ‘re headed to Kansas this weekend and hopefully get in the top 10 there and then come back to Talladega and have a really good run. We ‘re optimistic about it. Kurt has put a lot of effort in it. It’s kind of like a small team getting a big-time quarterback,’ Finch said.(in part from the Charlotte Observer)(4-16-2012)
UPDATE: Dave Despain: Dealing with the sponsorship issue, are you feeling good to go for the season or is there a question of whether you guys will be able to do all the races?
James Finch: ‘Well, we ‘re trying. There’s a question. We ‘re off and running and trying. We ‘re talking to some people and going from there. We ‘re headed to Kansas this weekend and hopefully get in the top 10 there and then come back to Talladega and have a really good run. We ‘re optimistic about it. Kurt has put a lot of effort in it. It’s kind of like a small team getting a big-time quarterback. Last night (at Texas), it was 480 miles before we got a lap down. The pit crew did a real good job with all the green-flag stops. We ‘re just trying to catch up with Kurt. Kurt’s got the speed. We ‘re trying to get the crew chief up. We ‘re trying to get the pit crew up to be able to handle what Kurt can do. Hopefully, we ‘re getting there.’(full interview at SPEED)(4-16-2012)
