Looks to me like there's an extra $10K available per race at an All Stars Show and quite a bit more at a WoO race. I understand there's a couple WoO races that skew the total though. But this is where the money is guys and these drivers/teams race for a living.

If someone offers you the same job but with more money at stake, wouldn't you take it too??
