I don't know what the Chili Bowl could afford to pay and still make a sizable profit. Remember this thing lost money the first two years. But now it's the center of the Universe in the racing world in January. If you win it, The racing world knows about it from F1 to quarter midgets.

I know there's lap money in the feature. But I also know that just participating cost a small fortune as you lease your pit space and other things. Just lodging and food for a team are significant expense. never mind the car.

The Rent is damn high, But I don't think they'd of added two more nights too it if it wasn't well worth it.
