From the scrafan board by sprint driver Joe Gunderson (at least thats the user name). If this is true, this news will send a little shockwave to those teams looking to run this event.

Quote: "not to change the subject, but Don K. announced at the driver meeting that he would be cutting the money down for the nationals.. something like, he normally pays $90k to the field and this year will be $60k.. You think that will change the turn out? Will it still be $30k to win?" Unquote
