No Chuck, it's finally been turned around, it's gonna cost you more money to watch, and the guys and gals putting on the show less, so they can afford to go more, don't ya see, it's payback time! Don't worry, you'll get used to it! Bob

Not sure how anybody who supports the owners and drivers of sprint car racing can see anything wrong with this if it comes to fruition. I am not sure what the weekly fanbase is for Huset's but if anybody has been paying attention this year there seems to be a real uptick in the crowds at the Midwest Wing races and my guess is that with the tradition of huset's and the lack of any real compitition in the area for Sprint Cars (a few teams make the 5 hour tow to Knoxville on Saturday nights) That this has the making of a big BIG deal for Sprint Car Racing. Along with this there was a rumor floating around that there would be a high paying 3 day 50Kto win show following 2016 Knoxville with one night being non-wing and a 25K bonus to a driver who could win both with and with out the wing.
There seems to be a lot of $$ floating around the SD region and I for one am happy to see it floating towards Sprint Car Racing.

Agreed bigger payouts are welcomed. I saw the 250k rock and roll nationals was to be the week after the Knoxville nationals. Big name Rock concert on Wednesday, wing show Thursday, non wing show on Friday and each running for 50k to win on Saturday and the 25 k bonus Tim talked about. Regular Saturday shows with 410's and 360's on Sundays both with enhanced payouts. Wish this track wasn't six hours away sounds awesome if it happens.
I was just asking a question, Maybe the dudes super rich and a 50k purse isn't going to hurt him much every week, Maybe he's got a ton of sponsorship. IDK.
