Clark suggested Crocker recommended a Winton because Winton had already shown confidence in its cars by attempting a cross-country drive in one.
“Winton had already shown that they were making really good cars enough so that they were willing to try to make it a cross-country in one of them”

Bryant said Jackson turned down Winton's offer of sponsorship because he did not want the trip to become a corporate venture.
“I don't want this to become like a corporate sponsored thing. Like, we've made it this far. We can make it the rest of the way”
