IMHO that is the best move USAC could make that is what I have been trying to say. That is why non wing pay is where it is at they still get the cars and the big names for the little dollars. The fans still show up and as long as it happens it will never change. Until the drivers and sanctioning bodies take a stand it will never change. WOO used to penalize drivers with points and fines if they raced within so many miles of a WOO event the day before or the day after to keep promoters from paying big win dollars but no purse on back this kept the WOO's big named drivers from going to support those races. If the WOO drivers would have supported it the WOO would be no longer in business today.

USAC and MSCS would love to be able to pay more money but the promoters will not schedule there shows when they ask for more. Because the promoters know they don't have to because most of the top names show up anyway. If they quit showing up the purses would go up. What would the big shows be like without the names of Darland, Jones, Hines, Gardner, Ballou, Sweet, Stanbrough, Coons jr, Clauson, and so on. I personally think this is a step in the right direction.
