I'm no lawyer, contract or otherwise, but I'd be amazed if any multimillion
dollar *team* sponsorship contract had anything like an ironclad "if this one
guy doesn't race, we don't pay" clause. What fool would sign a contract with a
clause like that? Besides, how could they possibly enforce it?

Bob Hunt

The same way race car sponsors collect monetary reparations if a team
doesn't meet stated criteria? Many of those sponsorships are based
on who's driving the car, usually with advertising and public
appearances designed around the star.

It's as easily enforced as any other clause. Break it and the sponsor
doesn't pay, or the sponsor pays less. Who says a sponsorship
contract requires 100% payment up front?

Based on how he's going after win #6, I see no reason to believe that he
would not want #7. The man loves what he does (so do I, too!).
