I was on the west coast when the "Thunder" series was going on. ESPN-2 wanted $70,000 to show the series. The last year it was on, it almost wasn't. Coors Light finally stepped up and paid for the sponsorship of the races. ESPN did sell commercial time to other companies but no money was paid to USAC drivers or a points fund for the series.
