Well, I'm not exactly a keyboard jockey as you call it. I'm more of of a team owner kinda guy. I own a wing sprint car team in PA driven by Dave Ely, and am partners in a USAC team driven by Hunter Schuerenberg, so I am one wrung above a keyboard jockey I would think The reason I asked the question is that I watched Chase Stockon, who is a small team, run very respectably with USAC against its big budget teams. I am appreciative that you didn't include the USAC sprint car team that I am partners in with the big budget guys ........ My question still is...if the track is within 2 hours of a guys shop, what is the cost difference of running with USAC as I do not see where it cost more to run 25 laps with one group than another. Every race we run, we use fuel, tires, & engine wear....whether it pays 1200 or 6000 to win. I am interested in hearing the details of the cost difference.

When my wing team races a weekly show at Williams Grove it pays 3,000 to win and we use 2 tires, a tank of alcohol, have 25 laps of engine wear and car wear....and when the World of Outlaws comes to town and pays 10,000 to win, our expenses to run that race is the same as a weekly show.....so then, why is it different in non-wing racing ???
