The race was ran very efficiently and got everyone out of there at a decent time. For a side note The usac guys who raced would have to run 3rd in a usac race just to make what it paid to start this race and I believe all the usac regular guys made the show so it was a good way for those guys to make some extra money on a Tuesday night. Social media will be the death of this sport you all claim to love but bash as soon as someone tries to make an improvement. If you can’t afford the $40,I understand, and you had the choice to watch on flo, which if I broke down the cost of my subscription I probably pay about $1 a race to watch on there. I go to the track every weekend but I also will have flo on watching a race from somewhere else typically. Quit bashing and embrace a new venture they are trying to get started that runs mid week and pays a very hefty amount of money. Also heard running 7th in b-main paid $825 so even the ones not making the feature got paid well. Put your keyboards away unless you have some positive input and let’s support those who are trying to improve the sport.
You might have heard wrong on $875. Brian Hayden was paid $125 for 9th in the B. He stated that Joe pays $200 on a regular Saturday night show so everyone wasn’t paid well.

They pay $200 to run a B at Putnamville? I’d probably advertise that if it was me and that were true.

I read the same comment. There was a ton to unpack in that comment so I don't want people on this board to misunderstand the context of what Brian said in totality if they didn't see his comments.

What you stated is correct that his statement was $125 vs $200. I can't validate if that information is correct in regards to what Pville pays?

Here are the comments made and the context in which they were made. This will help everyone understand the way in which the $125 was perceived.

Thank you! I wondered who he was. IMO (again!) he did a very nice job announcing on the Flo broadcast and he and Dillon made a good pair.

Presumably he was there by choice.

Does a guy really think he should get paid for being 29th best out of 35? Ha ha, if you want paid, go to work.

LM friend of mine, drove probably thirty plus years. Says back when he started they choose where they raced by what the race paid for tenth place in the A.

Because tracks didn't pay beyond that.

I possibly did hear wrong on that I’ll wait to clarification but also they pay $200 to miss the show at a regular race? That’s gotta be the highest around if true.

Kyle and Brad will pay what they need to, to achieve what they want to achieve. If they aren't getting enough cars for a meaningful B main, they'll bump the B main money. If they pay 1000 to start the B and start getting 65 cars, they'll probably knock it down a bit. These are 1 night weeknight shows, they need to run the show in 3 hours so fans can work, get to the track and work again the next day.
