IndyCar does it this way, NASCAR does it this way, and so do the NHRA, IMSA, the SCCA, and our beloved USAC.

And if USAC wanted to add to the purse from funds they receive from their contract with Flo Racing nothing is stopping them from doing that. They are not beholden to only the money received from the promoters. That is the point.
