One day. One sponsor. One ride.
That’s the scenario for Jacques Villeneuve as per Mike Brown, the general manager at Bill Davis Racing.
So now that Jacques out on his heels, what’s next?
Well, the costly mistake at Daytona put them in a hole. One that will be tough to climb out of. According to Brown, Mike Skinner is going to get the nod to attempt to right the ship and get the #27 in at California.
An interesting note, and one being heard more frequently is that if Villeneuve can bring a sponsor along then he can return to the seat. This is not the first time this has been uttered in the garage, mainly amongst the fringe teams. Bring a sponsor, get a ride. This is a trend that hopefully doesn’t overtake the series. The end result is a place we don’t want to go.
While all of this is fair game, we don’t know if Jacques has been notified yet. If the conditions were not made clear until later in the day, the letter may not make it to his mailbox tomorrow. In which case it may be Monday or even Tuesday. Times may be changing, however, and it is unknown at this time if BDR has taken to using email instead of standard post to conduct their firings.
The moral of this story? You tell me. It could be one of a number of things.
One thing for sure though, is that the Skinner fans are going to at least have a little something to root for on Sunday. For how long is anyone’s guess.
