It's probably more to do with health inspection and proper licenses. I'm not sure if he directly serves food at the FF or if he contracts food trucks and catering companies. If he's not serving food yet and doesn't have the proper licenses it can be a lengthy and costly process. From a business owner stand point using food trucks and catering companies saves him time and money. He probably takes a 25% cut of what the trucks make. Doesn't need to worry about hiring new employees, food prep, permits, bulk food purchases or renovations that may be needed. His focus is the racing side of things. Plus food trucks offer a wide variety of foods. 2 diffrent food trucks would offer way more menu options and gives him the option to hire different trucks and switch up the menu with ease. Personally I would set it up for the wife and kiddos. All income generated goes towards the wife's desires and towards the kiddos future. First car, school, travel, shit over the next 16-18 years he could probably put a down payment on their first houses. I definitely wouldn't leave it completely dead tho. Even if it was just a concession stand
