While Belleville does pay more, I think it has at least as much to do with the fact that it is the most prestigious midget race in the country. IMO, this is one race that they ought to really try to make an effort to schedule around. If anything, for the driver's sake. They could start this Hot August Nights tour with Knoxville, Oskaloosa and then move on to Eagle, Dodge City and Grain Valley and give these guys a chance to make even more money. A lot more if they sanctioned a return of the Ron Shuman Classic @ Lakeside as part of next year's tour.
With that said, those fans at Eagle are going to still get to see a great show. Especially for fans that don't get to see a lot of non-winged action. That field will still be a strong one.
