I know that it's a sport that we all love, but until you send a message to promoters that you will not pay a pit fee unless the purse is posted out in the open, or given to you as a handout, well, you've got no leverage.

So I don't think that anyone was "shorted" at the pay window - I just think that the money wasn't there in the first place - you just didn't know about it. Casey had the right idea last night. His team probably made more money by not racing than the team that finished 7th. I'd imagine that one RR would eat into any chance of making a buck that a team had!
Not sure Casey made money last night need to know how much he spent on beer just kidding bud
