I can't remember all the years that CRA did it's midwest tour thing, I think 90-91. They carried a sizeable contingent of about 20-25 teams who did most of the tour. And yes, they did race their way east, I know I attended three our four if not more of these events Eldora, Burg, Whitewater (Rt.44) for certain. They even put up a bounty if a non CRA driver could beat em. They brought the goods. Rip Williams, Billy Boat, Gasman Griffin, Ol Bubby Jones. McSpadden to name a few.
I do remember Kinser and Roush beat em. Frankie Kerr won Whitewater and it was only his second wingless race.
I also know several of them junked more than one car on these tours. I don't know how they did it. Im sure the payouts didn't cover expenses let alone car wear and tare
