I think we should just put a cap on the winning (1st place) money. If it only paid, lets say $2,500 to win no matter what but paid really good all the way back through the field maybe you would see more talented drivers in it for the LOVE of the sport rather than collecting a "sallary" from some big millionaire team???

Then again maybe if all the BIG money wasn't there to win, it would bring back some lower budget teams who could again afford to show up and run.

Look at the WoO for example, they pay so much to win, no local (or regular) teams even compete with them when they come to town other than a few Penn Posse teams. They are so HIGH DOLLAR only about 15 - 20 teams travel with them full time because its so expensive. Out of all the Sprint Car Drivers in this country only 15 to 20 are good enough to run with them??? No I don't think so. Once Steve retires I think the WoO will start to fail. People aren't going to pay those rediculous prices to go to the races when the biggest star of all time is not there.

Where are the best drivers gonna come from in the future to keep this sport alive if we don't keep it affordable so they can compete?
