Brady wasn't allowed to have his trailer on WoO merchandise row. For that matter neither was Sunshine, Hunter Percent, and many other non-WoO racers.

The defenders of the payout at the Chili Bowl tell us it's about the trophy but when it comes to sprint cars it's about the money not the trophy.

In reality sprint cars are specialized. Wing, non-wing, dirt, pavement, 305, 360, 410, steel block, crate. That unfortunately is how it is.
