My sources tell me USAC has reduced the purse on the pavement side to make the show more affordable to track owners which will hopefully get more shows scheduled. The thing I didnt undertand was if this means teams will be running for less or USAC was reducing the sanctioning fee. Anyone know the details? The total purse for a USAC Sprint Car pavement is reported to be between $17,000-$18,500. If this rumor is true, it is about $2500 - $4000 less than the Must See series. Can anyone confirm this or know the whole story? Regardless USAC is doing what it needs to do to save the shows and I commend them for doing what it takes to keep pavement alive. I also heard that a tv package will be part of the ORP series but no other details were know.
