How much have you made in one race with your pavement car?????

I don't wish to vaunt our achievements by any means, but since you asked, allow me to opine.

I would say the answer to your question is $50,000+;our first sprint car race (first race for the team and driver), the Florida 400, finished 3rd. We utilized a borrowed car, engine and fuel rig; a driver in his first race with a pit crew that had never even seen a pit stop before. We had deteermination on our side and a lot of luck. Jack Hewitt spoke about our driver after the race "That kid isn't going to be the next Jeff Gordon or Tony Stewart, He's better than they were when they started."
Who am I to question Jack Hewitt?

As far as making money with our race car goes, we have never tried to make money. Our family team likes racing, we view going to the racetrack like going on vacation, we just get to do it 10-15 times a year. Perhaps we are part of the problem with racing not being a money making venture because we don't care about making money at the track.
We just like racing together as a family team. Please stop by our pit sometime and I would be delighted to introduce you to everyone.
