It is pretty common in NASCAR, as the manufacturers (Ford / Chevy / Toyota) manage the windtunnel & simulator data for most of their teams. As there are limits on allowable windtunnel and simulator time, the manufacturers give more time / data to their "tier 1 teams" (more accomplished teams), so some smaller teams will usually pay for alliances with the tier 1 teams.

DJR and Hendrick are like that. It's almost like a feeder league.
But is it an evil alliance?
