NASCAR teams to lay off hundreds

UPDATE This Kansas City Star article talks about just how bad it is in the NASCAR paddock. Dodge will soon be out and when GM finally files for bankruptcy, NASCAR will be reeling.

11/08/08 There's talk of layoffs — hundreds of them — once the current NASCAR season ends. Hendrick Motorsports and Dale Earnhardt Jr.'s team, JR Motorsports, have already cut staff. Depending on how you count it, as many as 15 current full-time Cup teams face questions about their sponsorship for 2009. You can multiply that number by two or three if you include the Nationwide and Truck series.
