They had five drivers in the first Chase and now I don't even remember the last time they had even one.

Last year with Ricky - 2 plate track wins and he survived until the 2nd round. Technically the year before that as well since they had Buscher under contract and on loan to Front Row and he won at Pocono. The cliffs story on RFR is they were shedding sponsors left and right - was a 4 car team without a full season sponsor on any car. They couldn't afford to keep up with the joneses, then the vet drivers saw the decline in performance starting and they bailed out. They put kids that weren't ready into the seats, they couldn't provide proper feedback on the cars and started finishing in the 20s and 30s. They shed the 16 and 99 charters to focus on 2 cars and streamline operations and lost Buscher in the process. Now here we are.
