Thanks to Mr. Gile for letting him fill in. Proved they had a good car too.

I may have misunderstood, but I don't think I missed the overarching premise of his statements that were he was happy to race for more money or he wouldn't have shown up, regardless of what car, right? $5K for second.... that's a USAC win. $2K for 5th that equals a runner up in USAC. I'm not down there and the group I'm associated with said money has been the talk of the week.

I would ask you this....if you feel like you are adequately paid in your job do mention how much you are paid?
Does Donny Schatz or Brad Sweet ever say anything about money in an interview?
