Hinch would need to walk away from 500k AND bring a sponsor. I don't think he will be in a car next season. It might wash him right out of the series if he doesn't make a move right now.

This is the key point here...
Both Marshall & Robin mentioned this earlier in the week when discussing this whole Hinch Saga. As Marshall put it, Hinch has slowly been getting pushed further down the field, and with a poor decision on his end, he could be out of the series indefinitely.

His agents mission starts with finding him a paying gig in a car, if that is not available his next hope is to line up a ride with backing for a team he can show out with to get paid in the future. If neither of those is possible it is better to keep the contract for next year and work on lining something up for 2021.

Totally agree with you here...
I recently chatted with one of my sources and asked him what ways he could see Hinch be FT with someone next season, and he basically put it that there needs to be a 3 way split for anything to work [Hinch, Team owner(s), & Backing/Honda].

I’m wondering if he would give up the money just to race.

That is the 500k question. I don't think there is a paying ride available for james, so is it better to sing for his supper outside of a car with spm next year or give up on guaranteed dollars to be in car given the funds for the ride can be found.
