Not sure if it's true but Im told Knoxville loses money on every race but the Nationals.

The Truck show had the back grandstand open which is only ever open during the Nationals and it looked like there was a heck of a crowd, (AKA another profitable event)

We wine and complain about fenders, wings, etc. But the fact is that without those fans growing the sport of NW fan base, We're destined to run for under ten thou and under one hundred thou purses.

We are at a pivot point and I see a lot of good things like Flo/Mav and crossover racing from NW, To Wing, To Fender and Vice Versa with fans attending all and growing attendance and purses, Or fall flat on it's face due to rising cost of racing and less car counts.

I commend Knoxville for attempting to put on this race as they have. Combined with another show or two it would be a trip to remember Osky, Jackson? something else along the way or return?

Purse or no purse except for a dozen points running teams. The reason to race at Knoxville for most teams is, BECAUSE IT'S KNOXVILLE
