You use 2 vehicles, an RV and a van, which usually are rented and driven across the country and back. In LOP's example it says 15mpg average. You can count on substantially less than that, especially going east during the race.
You have to feed the crew and put them up in motels if time permits.
RV rental is not cheap these days. I looked into it some last year, and besides the daily rate of $300-400+/day for a Class B type, the charge was typically $.50 - 1.00/mile for every mile over 100, and add prep, clean and other fees. You're looking at at least $7,000 for two weeks plus mileage.
