767, I just want you to know im not slamming you BY ANY means. Just giving a comparison of the purses and ticket prices. But from the video I seen on the internet of the race at the Burg...it was one hell of a show.
No you are right, I do not have the entire break down, but $10,000 to win and $700 to start. I did not make it to Sprint week at the burg, but I think the ticket prices were compairable. I'm deffinatly not tring to say which was the better show here. Just stateing that as a fan walking in my initial thought was ouch, as a fan walking out, I AM READY FOR MORE! I'm sure many peopel went to sprint week saying the exact same thing

O ya name me another race track you can get a beer for $2
