Consider this, even with fuel cheaper the two weekend stint to do the two western november races cost a IN Team near or more than 20K, That's if you don't ruin a car, junk a motor or have a hauler blow up on you. The driver gets 40-50% of all winnings..

Most USAC and USAC CRA Owners are full time workers So not only are they spending a ton. They are potentially losing a big amount of revenue to do so..


If you haven't noticed, Coons, Ballou, Tmez, Boespflug and othrs have moved here, gotten jobs and homesteads in order to race OUR BRAND

Others like Hodges, Formerly Kaeding and some others have just kept a car in Indy somewhere that they can fly here and race.

While we have some car owners that will give a ride on merit. It's still often sometimes cheaper just to rent a ride.

I always knew a ton of work went into keeping a car running and to the track. Im learning more and more that there is a ton more too it than just the car. Getting the $$$ for the car is often as much work as the car itself.
