Wood Brothers Racings Ryan Blaney will have a guaranteed starting spot in NASCARs Cup Series in 2017 as part of a series of deals that includes Richard Petty Motorsports leasing one of its charters to Go FAS Racing.Go FAS Racing, which fielded the No. 32 car for Jeffrey Earnhardt and other drivers last season, will lease its charter (NASCARs version of a franchise) to the Wood Brothers for 2017, said Wood Brothers Racing executive Jon Wood. Blaney qualified for every race last year, finishing 20th in the standings, but now will have no worries about having to qualify in 2017 if more than 40 cars show up at a race.Matt DiBenedetto, who drove for BK Racing last year and finished 35th in the standings, will be the sole driver for Go FAS Racing in 2017 and also will have no worries with a guaranteed spot in every race as Go FAS Racing vice president Mason St. Hilaire confirmed that it has leased the RPM No. 44 charter for 2017.An RPM spokeswoman said the team had no comment Thursday night about its charter situation nor its 2017 plans. It has driver Aric Almirola with primary sponsor Smithfield signed next season for the No. 43 car but has been in limbo with the No. 44 car since the surprising retirement announcement of Brian Scott in November.Why all the leasing of charters? Its part of a complicated NASCAR system designed to encourage performance while also allowing teams to project revenues for a season.At the start of 2016, NASCAR issued 36 charters, giving those 36 cars a guaranteed spot in each race and a guaranteed base amount of revenue for the season. That left four spots available to open cars, whose base amount of participation revenue is less than 35 percent of that of charter teams.Teams can lease out their charter for only one year over a five-year span and then must either run it or sell it. A portion of the revenue distributed to a charter team is based on the performance of that car the past three years; plus any car among the three worst charters for three consecutive years can have its charter pulled by NASCAR.The move for Go FAS Racing means it will have slightly more guaranteed money next season because the RPM No. 44 teams past three-year history is better than that of Go FAS Racings No. 32 team.It also should make the original No. 32 charter more valuable for 2018 in two ways: Wood Brothers Racing should finish higher in the owner standings (it was 21st in the 2016 team standings) and therefore would increase its 2018 guaranteed revenue; and it should eliminate a chance the charter could get revoked following the 2018?season because it most likely wont be among the three worst charter teams for three consecutive years.
