Big money races and low car counts

Went to Tri State and saw one of the best sprint races I've seen in years. What I don't understand is how everyone complains about purses at sprint car races. Tri State paid $5000 to win, which is very good around these parts, with a car count in the low 20's.

Then someone will say it didn't pay enough to start , I need more it's a long drive. Well if you're wondering about start money, you've already lost. You go to win, not to start. Yes , I realize not everyone wins, but if you don't think you can, you never will.

You get tired about people complaining about the purses, when it's up to those who race to support the big money shows. It doesn't make sense to have them if the competitors aren't going to support them. Show the promoters you'll support, and it will encourage them to have more of them. If you don't show up it doesn't help at all.
