Then it switched back to a 360. Nationals. And stayed that way until Tod took over. Tod has paid good money. But the car counts just haven't been there. Can't Blame. them for trying different dates. Their weekly shows. Are high paying 360 shows? With some 410 specials. During the year. Tied in with Knoxville. And Husets. Also ties in his 360 shows with Knoxville and. And they offer a $3000 bonus for winning at Jackson and Knoxville on the same. I guess I honestly don't know if it's still paying 50,000 to win. When they announced in January, it was moving to August. The world Of Outlaws. website had 50,000. Since then, there has been nothing said about what it's paying So if anybody knows put it on here. Since Tod Purchased Husets. Jackson has become the redheaded child. So to speak. That's why we were hoping. That this would increase the car Count. Because since last year, there has been talk. Of closing Jackson, because it's losing money. Glen Murra

Is having the Jackson Nationals right after Knoxville a good idea? I would think many of the fans would be out of $$$ if they went to the Knoxville Nationals,and possibly the 360 Nats the week before...Front Row Challenge....Capitani Classic etc etc.

I could see Lincoln Park being good for MOWA regulars,some stragglers from Ohio,Danny Smith etc. Probably asking a bit much for the locals from Farmington Mo. to come over.
