Wingers will have plenty to see next year with the NSL, Renegades, All-Stars, MOWA and Outlaws, plus others. I wonder if some non-wing drivers will switch with the purses being paid and number of races available running the wing.

I don't see how this is not big news for those that are going to run this series. Between NSL & Knoxville & Contingencies this is huge for those racers.

I'd like to see the Renegades step up to this kind of payout & if I could I would.

Yeah.... well the more money given out, the more people will show up. That is good money for those who will race the series.

This got me thinking and poking around. Here is an interesting comparison between the new NSL and the All Stars in payouts:

NSL is to payout $3,000-to-win per race. All Stars are paying $5,000-to-win for their standard shows.

NSL is paying out $75,000 to the champ. All Stars are paying out $30,000 to the champ.

An interesting comparison I thought. Completely different courses charted. One goes long on final payment while the other goes heavy on show-to-show. I am not in marketing, but I'm just wondering what goes into the thinking on both ends. Big money either way and good for all drivers involved, IMO.

It has been reported several times that there is not a sanctioning fee for a NSL race. The promoters are only responsible for the purse. The series sponsors (read owner) is responsilbe for the year end bonus structure.

It might be argued the USAC isn't "National" anymore since it's "National Series" only raced in 15 states this year, too. That's only 30%.

The only true National series are the outlaws USAC runs in more states (15) than this new series (8 states)

NSL will run in 8 more than this year. Will USAC grow?
