Many in the garage have speculated that Toyota will spend outrageous amounts to make its teams competitive quickly, and Red Bull is known for spending huge sums of money to promote its product – and its racing ventures are seen as part of that promotion. Rumors floating around the cup garage have the team already spending well over $30 million – even before its first race, which unofficially was at Lowe's Motor Speedway earlier this month (Bill Elliott failed to qualify in a Red Bull Dodge).
Steiner laughs when asked about that amount and says, "I don't confirm, I don't deny that."
"It's hard to determine what is a little or a lot," he said. "It's what you get back from it that counts. It's less investment here [than in Formula One]. But it doesn't mean that it’s a little."
