Eldora and 50/50

If you were lucky enough to win both nights you could have walked out of there with 44,000 + possibly even 45,000 + as qualifying night was 19,000 + & race night was 25,000 +. Forget the year though.

Not a hard decision as Earl never made anything off the 50/50. The winner received half and the other half went into the driver's point fund. Apparently the other half going to a "foundation" makes a difference.

Think about it. Earl made a ton of money on the 50/50
Half went to the driver fund so Earl had to pay little if any towards the driver fund.
Anything that Earl did was for a reason and that reason was MONEY!
