This purse would mean an average of $315 per car if a full field is reached (which will surely be a stretch to start). The point of a "support division" is for car-affiliated income to out-weigh total payback. If the average car includes 4 people ($120 in pit passes), that leaves $195 to recoup by one gate or the other. Tough to do.

This has been proposed as a "support division" all along, meaning the purse would be small and covered entirely (and then some, hopefully, for the promoter) by those directly connected to the teams. Anything over $200 per car seems extremely unlikely.

I will hold my opinion on this added class in Indiana.
