(( Aerodynamics may be the one glaring problem for Mast, but if the 90 car is to actually catch up and be relatively competitive it will need some serious cash.
There may be plenty of fat in Mayonnaise - but not in Rick's sponsor. The Richmond based Sauers Company already has cut back its sponsorship dollars for this year from a full season to just 18 races.
Rick thinks the team eventually will find more money, but when you've been through the things he has the past two seasons you quickly become a realist.))
