It depends on how profitable you think an Indiana Sprintweek race will be. That is going to be one of the few entities in short-track racing that is a recession-proof moneymaker. And if those promoters want the even-bigger profit of a two-day show, they can throw up a little bit more cash to go back to the racers. I'm not expecting double the purse....I'm saying maybe that could give us a six- or seven-grand to win race during the week that also pays maybe six-hundred to start. Asking the promoters cannot hurt - if they don't want to do it, they don't have to....but if they think it's worth a little extra money to get another date, it benefits the guys in the pits!
