According to SportsBusiness Journal, General Motors is cutting factory support for both the Nationwide and Truck Series teams.   The larger teams in those series will most likely be hit the hardest as they typically receive the most manufacturer help.  Those teams would include Kevin Harvick Incorporated, Rusty Wallace Inc., and JR Motorsports.  Teams get engines, parts, and cash to get their brand out front.  In the Truck Series, this leaves only one standing at this point, Toyota, with Ford and Dodge pulling out before the season.  They certainly chose an interesting weekend to do this, racing at Michigan International Speedway.  While this is not an official story coming from NASCAR or General Motors, and coming from an alternate source, we will keep our eye out for further details.
