the entry fee has always been $100.00 dollars, which originally this race was going to pay $7000.00 to win the first year,but they did not get a good car count so at the drivers meeting Allison cut it to $2000.00 to win. Then from there on the entry fee stayed the same and so did the $2000.00 pay to win. Also I believe the pit passes were always $35.00.
The richardson race at Danville this year was $5000.00 to win and payed back alot better than the Patriot and it was a $100.00 dollar entry fee which included 1 pit pass. The Big Dog at north vernon last week was a $5000.00 to win show and the entry fee was $35.00 and pit pass was $30.00.

Not trying to bash anyone just giving some info. so people will maybe understand why so many people were asking questions about entry fee and pit pass and payout. I know some people that were going to come but now their not. oh well.....just wish this race would work out to be a race that all the big dogs would come to but I dont know, maybe it will get better next year.
