I once had a driver who ran WoO and All Stars and other races throughout his career and said his bank account had more money in it when he ran the All Stars vs. the Outlaws cuz he didn't have to travel and could get home more often and didn't need a motorhome with the All Stars. This is the point I'm driving home. The gross numbers look great, but the net numbers aren't as robust.

It’s not true that Marks “barely left home”. He made more money outside of PA than inside.
