Worth every penny. That's conservative... I budget $3k and what I come home with is a bonus.

The game plan is to usually just make sure I hit the pay window on the way to Caravan Cattle Co. And make sure my friends get some free drinks... Caravan is a must see on Thursday nights of the chili bowl. Good times!

Pretty sure even Loyet requires the driver to provide some sort of funding. Thats why Pickens wasnt racing at Chili Bowl this year.

I would say there were about 40 legitimately hired drivers (not counting "self-owned" guys paid for by others) this past year, including three for Loyet.
