      On one hand, it might limit the number of new teams with a huge up front buy-in. But on the other hand, starting a team with a charter means you always have some asset worth money even if your team fails to be financially solvent.
      Fans might want to keep the idea of the 1970s style owner drivers scraping by on a shoestring but somehow able to compete with sheer grit. But perhaps that has been dead for three decades already and the charter system didn’t kill it, only the fan’s remaining delusion.

    The France's are used to complete and absolute power. No driver's unions, little say from teams on how the sport actually operates. NASCAR has produced a great product overall the 76 year history, but I think they are stagnant and outdated in their actions of how to grow the sport in the 21st century. I don't believe in dictatorships in government or sports. I want to see NASCAR move in the direction of how other sports operate between franchises and a governing body. The France family seems like they are going to greed themselves into the grave.

Then you have NASCAR wanting to potentially own their own charters, which possess a problem as you have some fans shouting "NASCAR IS A RIGGED SPORT", and them owning charters is only going to fuel that even more than what it is now!

    Racing is supposed to be about the fastest cars who qualify get to race. But now it's who owns a charter gets to race. Not long ago in NASCAR anyone could have shown up and if they qualified they could race, but no more. The charters allow the teams to be lazy since they have no incentive since they are guaranteed to race, and allows them to be demanding that they need more of the pie. It's no longer about racing but about money. The France's created NASCAR - it's their pool so it should be their rules, if the teams don't like it then they should go elsewhere. Unfortunately NASCAR caved and created the charters giving the charter teams more power and cutting out the small guys who just want to race. Get rid of the charters, get rid of the spec cars, get rid of the playoffs, Make NASCAR Great Again.

    What would be the point of a cost cap now? Everything is spec parts basically, the only thing teams are spending money on is probably sim stuff and maybe something with smt data or something besides paying employees and the costs of running a race shop.

    I have thought that can alleviate everything regarding characters. Have each team purchase “race licenses” for each car for one year. Let me explain, each team must purchase a “race license” for $1,000,00 dollars for one year, per car and payment is due by January 15. This would pay for each race (34) for the cost of $29,411.75. Only four car are allowed to enter per team. Now for the one off teams that would only want to run, let’s say 4 races, the cost is still the same but they must pay the cost of $29,411.75 by January 15. They chose which ever track they want to race at as long as the race has not been filled by the standard maximum entries. If team is unable to fulfill the race due to sponsorship, they can sell their entry to someone else but must inform NASCAR 7 day before race and can only sell the license for cost of the entire ($29,411.75).The team will still be responsible to purchase the standard items at the race like tires, fuel, etc. at the track. For those team that already have a “charter”, those charter teams will only be allowed to use “ charter” for 3 years which it will go void. For those teams, there cost would be $ 900,000 for the year.
    After 4 years, NASCAR can raise the price by 5% as long they have approval from 50 percent of owners.

So the series owned by the teams and later partly by shareholders didn’t do well during the split at all. The IRL didn’t do well either but It did better than the series owned by the teams and shareholders. That’s another reason why an IRL/CART style split would be a complete disaster for stock car racing in the United States.

It's time that they accept it and turn these charters into the fractional equity pieces that they are. What these charters ultimately are are shares of NASCAR and it's time they treat them as such. Both sides need to to think of it as a share of stock.
