Jacques Villeneuve has apparently completed a buy-in of Bill Davis' High Point-based Toyota operation, according to sources close to the team, and Villeneuve will have at least a majority interest in the operation, perhaps even full ownership. Last Sunday, when asked about the report of a planned Villeneuve buy-in, Davis said he wasn't in a position to give a specific answer but did say he was considering a number of options. It is unclear what a purchase price might be. It is also unclear why Villeneuve, who lives in Montreal, would want to buy a NASCAR team, or if Villeneuve might move the team from High Point, where Davis has operated for more than 15 years.

NASCAR is starting to lose it with all that money
Something has to be done to control the money
The best drivers are not winning because they are not in a multiple car team with endless pockets.
Sponsors are becoming harder to get and maintain. If your team does not perform then good by money
NASCAR needs to get a handle on this before we fans get tired of seeing the same people (team) win each week and season.
