This article should be required reading for any race fan ,regardless of his or her favorite racing.It illustrates the perilous house of cards business model that racing exists on.Any first year business student can look at these models and see they are not sustainable over a long period of time.The numbers are really the only difference between the series talked about in article and short track racing.When you have to have an engine that costs 40,000 dollars ,to win a race that pays five thousand,you have a serious problem.I know this has been talked about for years,but this season you are starting to see the cracks.Look at entry numbers at local races.I don’t believe anything can be done,because it seems no one cares.The its great while I am here mentality. However,what it is in ten years will be vastly different than what it is today.Enjoy.
