1200 to win, So it cost a team a with a two hundred mile round trip 400 just to get the car there and back, pay driver, tires, fuel, wear, You couldn't even break even with a win. Not saying a regional wouldn't work, But IMHO its doing everything it can to keep names and existing teams OUT.

Your going to associate the name Thursday Night Thunder, Pay a USAC purse or the TV cost to make sponsors happy. You certainly aren't going to charge less.
