Is it unrealistic for me to believe that cars other than those owned by Hendrick, Gibbs, RCR, and Roush ("the big four") should actually be able to win a few races. I know that teams like Penske, Gillet/Evernham, and DEI win sometimes but every time I watch a race I have a feeling that only the one of the big four teams will win.

Are the teams/drivers that regularly finish in the 20's and 30's just going through the motions? Do they still get finanical benefits when finishing this poorly?
 
Because if they actually get a good run, that may get them $ and better equipment. They never give up.
