VIDEO: Will The Famous #43 Ever Race In NASCAR Sprint Cup Again?
The problem was that RPM still owed money on the cars and Roush Fenway could not release them to be taken to the next race.
It's a sixteen hour drive from Texas Motor Speedway, the site of last week's NASCAR Sprint Cup Series race, to Phoenix International Raceway, the site of this week's race. NASCAR Sprint Cup teams have to sign in to the track by 5:45 am Friday morning to race, as required by NASCAR.
"The plan was to take RPM's Phoenix cars to Texas and hold them there until the check cleared," said a source close to the situation, speaking on the condition on anonymity. "The money was supposed to be there Monday, but that didn't happen. It didn't happen again yesterday, and everyone's still there today, on hold..." reported SiriusSpeedway.com.
