After listening to a recent Dirtnerds podcast, Duane was saying rear tires on sprint cars this year are going to cost around $365 each from our friends at Hoosier. From this fans perspective, Hoosier has created a monopoly, which is rarely good for the consumers. Now we know, for better or for worse, they create a pay to play system by giving sponsorship money to tracks and sanctions. I just wonder how much less they could sell tires for if they didn’t have to mark up their product to pay for their grants to other entities? And wouldn’t that be more beneficial for the average racer? I will admit, I’m critical of Hoosier for more than they’re business model, and I’m not saying I’m right, it’s just how I see it. I wonder what you all think?
