Sometimes things don't need to be said. I believe that people see things for what they are or perceive them to be.....but in alot of cases, it doesn't need to be said out loud.....it can hurt people's feelings, affect if they get or don't get a sponsor, etc.

Example: If I was thinking about sponsoring Pauls cars and came upon this thread, it might cause me to rethink my position.....just sayin'.....you never can be sure how your words can affect someone.....even if you "didn't mean it".

How come Billy Puterbaugh Jr. does not run the USAC circuit ? I understand it pays much better than the local tracks and if you are racing to win and make money.....why not run the the highest purse possible ? This is not meant as a slight to BPJ, just a question.

Well, I'm not exactly a keyboard jockey as you call it. I'm more of of a team owner kinda guy. I own a wing sprint car team in PA driven by Dave Ely, and am partners in a USAC team driven by Hunter Schuerenberg, so I am one wrung above a keyboard jockey I would think

The reason I asked the question is that I watched Chase Stockon, who is a small team, run very respectably with USAC against its big budget teams. I am appreciative that you didn't include the USAC sprint car team that I am partners in with the big budget guys

........ My question still is...if the track is within 2 hours of a guys shop, what is the cost difference of running with USAC as I do not see where it cost more to run 25 laps with one group than another. Every race we run, we use fuel, tires, & engine wear....whether it pays 1200 or 6000 to win. I am interested in hearing the details of the cost difference.

When my wing team races a weekly show at Williams Grove it pays 3,000 to win and we use 2 tires, a tank of alcohol, have 25 laps of engine wear and car wear....and when the World of Outlaws comes to town and pays 10,000 to win, our expenses to run that race is the same as a weekly show.....so then, why is it different in non-wing racing ???

P.S. I tried to send this as a PM and your mailbox is full and won't accept messages.

)

*Update #2* Clauson and Buckwalter both ended up in the B-main where their nights ended.

I believe Putterbaugh does the best job of avoiding competition as anyone.(USAC) Plus the fact his engine would pump big as it's necessary to haul his ass around the track. Keep talking Billy. It's your bizarre way to acquire some attention.
