I don't have a clue what you are talking about. Yeah, maybe it does pay the same to start an MSCS and a L-burg event, but you get the chance to run for some big bucks. First of all Haubstadt is a long drive for Indy based teams. Secondly when the STADT and L-burg are running on the same night 40+ cars (including Robert Ballou, Daron Clayton, Brady Short, Jeff Bland, Dave Darland, etc) are at Haubstadt when L-burg gets what 25. Now would these 40+ cars drive to Haubstadt if the MSCS were short on $$$? Now I would like to make myself clear, I am not trying to bash L-burg. L-burg is a great facility and has a hard working promoter. I just think it is stupid to bash the MSCS when they have done a lot of great things for sprint car racing. If you don't like the MSCS just don't go to the races.
