Why is everyone so worried about how this pays have seen other tracks have specials tell you what it pays to win and start nobody ever asks them **** go with the intention of winning then you know what it pays

I agree Kenny! Go with the intentions on winning.....unfortunately, there will 40 other drivers trying to do that as well and there is only 1 winner.

I think a lot of teams are thinking about how much it is going to cost to run the race compared to how much money they can get in return. It will take about 30-35 gallons of fuel for the night ($110-$120), probably 3 tires ($600), and 3 or 4 pit passes ($90-$120), which will be around $800.00 to run the race and basically putting 2 nights on your motor for just one race. If first place is the only spot where a team could only break even, then that changes things a bit...Due to the cost factor, we have also thought about going to either Lawrenceburg or LPS, but will probably end up at Paragon this weekend since we haven't ran a race there this season. We don't race for the money, but it sure makes things a little easier when we actually do make a little money back to buy tires and parts for next week.

You won't be saving any tire money at the burg that's pretty much assured.

Any drivers confirmed for Saturday or expected to run? Will be a good show regardless of who is there I know, but trying to sell my buddy on going and he was asking names and wasn't sure who this event would draw. Know some might be in Arkansas running a USAC Midget and Putnamville has their regular show too running opposite. The old response of "whoever shows up" didn't suffice with him. LOL

I doubt there is a pre-race entry list, but you might check the social media (facebook/twitter) for your favorites as many of the drivers post their tentative schedules.

Car counts have been down this year. Usually get 6 to 10 of the the big names ever year. I would guess 35 to 40 cars.
