I think that it is 50 driver pts and some $ ,but I am not sure how much. I do not like the rule because it really only draws loyalty from maybe your top 2 or 3 in pts. If USAC wants to keep their drivers from going elsewhere , I say they need to increase or change their purse structure. Many drivers are racing for a living , so they are going to race where the money is. For example , why would you spend 5g in tires on pavement and win maybe 1g if you do not win the event versus winning 2-3g and spend 500$ in tires on dirt? To me ,if you are not up there in pts with USAC , you are going run the other series.
