I think if the pay out looked like this you would have no problem getting cars or fans. I know I would be there in the stands. I don't know what the fan count was for some of the sprint week shows but I'm guessing it had to be around 3,000. You get a couple sponsors for the payout and you have everything covered, even if the fan count was lower then 3000. I would think by paying $1000 to start you will get a lot more of the lower budget teams to show up. Any thoughts?
