The original story on Prock stated that a bunch of crew were leaving too. That in itself might lend credence to the no sponsor story. Say what you want, but John's pockets aren't deep enough to run 4 cars out of. Absolute worst case is that he will have to field "only" 3 or heaven forbid 2 cars next season. John is an excellent businessman, and contrary to what many think racing is a business. He will do what is best for John Force.

Change is inevitable. I think in the big picture it would be good for Force to get his wings clipped a little. Maybe that would force the NHRA to expand their horizons instead of just relying on their cash cow. They survived losing Winston, pretty sure this will be just a bump in the road IF Force cuts back.
