Thompson hired well-known driver Duane Knoll to drive the Buick that became one of the last track record-setting cars to go without a sponsor. Thompson estimates he put no more than $6,000 - $8,000 into the car. Money and deep pocket sponsors soon changed the sport and the car could no longer compete with teams investing $60,000 - $80,000 into their rides.Source - Gilmore Car Museum
