What there's no shortage of is full-time teams with strong sponsors. With Toyota essentially adding six fully funded teams to the existing lineup and only 43 starting spots available each week, there are going to be some major teams missing races next year.
Jeff Burton called that situation, "very scary."
"We're going to have more cars than we have spots by a large number," he said. "And all those teams are going to be well-funded and well-equipped, and that's not going to be in the best interest of our sport."
