Yes, but tracks/promoters determine the size of the purse. USAC sets a minimum in order for an event to be put on their schedule, but there's nothing holding the promoter back from sending USAC a bigger check, as Lawrenceburg did yesterday, in order that the purse may be higher. The tracks/promoters pay the purses, period. Who distributes the funds is irrelevant.
