One of their biggest incentives is going to so many different tracks across the country. This exposes them to fans that may only see them once or twice a year hence they are eager to spend money on T shirts and the like.
I'd be willing to bet a hot fudge sundae that Shatz sells more in Sovenoirs a year than USAC's entire sprint purse for the whole season.....

Re: WoO/All Stars incentive pays?
 

Wow...when you stop and think about that.....

I could be wrong but I'd bet I'm not far off.

Re: WoO/All Stars incentive pays?
 

I would guess this would be true with All Stars, ESS, NRA, Patriot Sprint Tour, ASCS, IRA, OVSCA, FAST, Civil War, USCS, OSCS, NSL, MOWA, KWS, NOSA, MSA, NSS, MTS, UMSS as well, and most of these are winged organizations.

I couldn't disagree with that but they also are not the premier sanctions for their respective discipline

Re: WoO/All Stars incentive pays?
 

While I agree it would be great if all drivers could race for their “dream” purse, where is it written that because one "premier" sanction pays said amount, that they all must pay that amount. Why would a WoO driver even race with the All Stars, which basically has the same purse payout as USAC? Their purse might be 3 times the amount, and they probably spend 3 times the amount as well!

The OP's original question was about incentives.

Usac had 47 races x 21500 minimum purse that's $1,010,500 in season purse. I'll take that bet. Just seems super high to me. Let's make it a beer not a sundae. No doubt if you want to make a living as a driver Woo is place.

Did they schedule 47 or run 47? I have it on pretty good authority that shatz does a million a year. Seems unbelievable to me as well but there was no reason for me to be lied too.

Scheduled 47. A few rained out/ canceled
