Not true...at least last I knew...paid more to win & finish 2nd (at least).
In-fact I have a pay stub I gotta find for a feature we won that paid a good amount over $150...& later that year, we lead 4-5 laps before I ran the rear brake caliper off the car, in a $1000 to win special...
Come watch one of the shows they put on at Rockford Speedway (at least - I'm sure the South Bend races and Grundy thru the years have been great, but I admit I haven't watched other than at Rockford). The starts are always crazy & almost every race, it seems, the top 3/4/5 battle it out like the race is paying $10,000 to win (I think only 3 midget races in this country - of any kind - pay that much to win anyway...) - videos available throughout the www platforms. Take a look if you have time.
