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.
I would be alright with $200 to start maybe even $150. I think that should be the minimum in my opinion. Also I do not see getting involved if winner is paid around $300 to $350. I have seen them numbers mentioned in other posts.
