This year I think with sponsor money it is going to be at least $12,500 to win but still only 40 laps.
More money should be more laps. (Winged reference alert) Even though the Knoxville Nationals is now 50 laps, I still consider that a sprint race when you look at they are racing for $150,000. But it adds elements to the race, and the fans get more for their ticket dollar.

Yes, Knoxville is 50 laps, but they have a fuel and adjustment stop at "about" lap 25. So in reality it is twin 25's with only the last 25 paying.
