I agree Kenny! Go with the intentions on winning.....unfortunately, there will 40 other drivers trying to do that as well and there is only 1 winner.
I think a lot of teams are thinking about how much it is going to cost to run the race compared to how much money they can get in return. It will take about 30-35 gallons of fuel for the night ($110-$120), probably 3 tires ($600), and 3 or 4 pit passes ($90-$120), which will be around $800.00 to run the race and basically putting 2 nights on your motor for just one race. If first place is the only spot where a team could only break even, then that changes things a bit...Due to the cost factor, we have also thought about going to either Lawrenceburg or LPS, but will probably end up at Paragon this weekend since we haven't ran a race there this season. We don't race for the money, but it sure makes things a little easier when we actually do make a little money back to buy tires and parts for next week.
