And it's rare to find any form of racing without an entry fee anymore. Sorry.
Don't take this as an approval of Kevin Miller. But your sour grapes and embellishment and probable made-up claims make it pretty understandable why he cut you.
You should have known that what he was saying wasn't true, before you called his bluff. I assumed you did. I guess not.

Gas City, Lawrenceburg, Lincoln Park, Anderson Speedway, IMS, Kokomo, and Tri-State Speedway all had full fields, most had B mains and none of which were USAC. The night before the 500, which is USAC sanctioned, only brought 10 cars. We can blame it on the cost of racing but regular shows are still getting full fields of cars. I think drivers go where they feel appreciated. ASCS had 9 races this past weekend, on average 27 cars per show. Jarrett Andretti ran the little 500 at Anderson Speedway and passed on the night before. That should tell you something. That race has been a big part of the Andretti family and I'm sure USAC saw that.

Expenses (4.5 million), trust me, the president does not travel cheap, no Super 8, no McDonalds!! $440,000 if you break it down that is only $8,500 per week plus an expense account! At the rate of his yearly raise he could be at $600,000 this year!

The USAC president made $287,000 in 2009, $376,000 in 2010, $434,000, in 2011.... as you can see, as the owners have struggled and the drivers have struggled, the president has taken care of himself, there is no one left to protect the participants (there used to be a board of directors, they say there still is, thats another story) just keep making checks payable to USAC.
