When the alliance was announced—a pact that included Yates Racing moving into a shop on the campus of Roush-Fenway—several stipulations had to be adhered to for the organizations to still be considered separate entities. One of the main requirements is that one team cannot underwrite another’s financial losses.
More than once this year Kvapil, whose team has struggled to find fulltime funding, has been sponsored by companies that also sponsor Roush-Fenway entries in the Craftsman Truck and Nationwide series. At Pocono, he was sponsored by Dish Network, which has primary sponsorship in numerous Cup races sprinkled between different Roush-Fenway drivers.
