Pretty sure it was 200 cars at a $600 entry fee. It totally filled up. It is a track rental. It's just what XR does. Now the question is will the drivers get paid? look up Peyton Taylor and his struggles to get paid last year. I know multiple Late Model guys were having trouble getting paid. They were refusing to unload their cars until they got paid from previous events. Hence the reason you seen $20,000 races last year with less than 20 cars. Also why you do not see as many XR Late Model races. It is very cool to see these lower classes getting big pay days, I just hope it comes.

Now on the side of smack down pay. Why does it pay what it does? They don't need to pay anymore! Very good field of cars for what they are paying. To stay in business every promoter has to make profit. Not to mention track upgrades. Kokomo has done a lot over the last 10 years. That money has to come from somewhere.
