NASCAR has announced that starting in 2006 a program will be implemented capping the number of cars under one ownership group at four cars. That's right Jack four. Not one, not five or six cars but four. Now how Nascar arrived at this magical number is beyond me but they did and four is now the magic number for team owners to adhere to. Those ownership groups will be give ample time by NASCAR to meet these new rules. These NASCAR rules state:
The four-car limit will extend to owners and any affiliate group, which includes situations where one or more of the car owners is entitled to receive, or actually receives, any financial consideration based upon the performance of the cars entered by the other car owners, or has any revenue sharing or ownership stake in the team.

Now come on, you think this is going to prevent a guy like Jack Rousch or Rick Hendrick from being financially involved in other teams even as extended silent partners? (shhhh don't say anything but that team over there is actually owned by this persons brothers cousins uncle.)
