How about 50K to win an open non-wing sprint car race, 50k to win an open winged sprint car race, and 50k to win late model race, run in all three and you get a $1,000 bonus just for running, win two out of the three a 50k bonus, win all 3, a million dollar bonus. You telling me Kinser wouldn't pack himself in a late model for a chance at a million bucks? What about Scott Bloomquist in a sprint car, it'd be interesting to see that's for sure.

Tony's rich, he could do it.
I'd pay to see that!!! Didn't the Owens do pretty decent at the Chili bowl?

Something along those lines would absolutely be the way to do it....I could personally do without the late models but having them would help pack the place totally full...
Maybe tweak the payout to encourage guys to run all 3 classes even if they aren't going to be super competitive in one of em...give the biggest paycheck to the dude who has the best combined finish from all 3 classes or best total points even if he only runs 2 classes....
500 grand to the overall champ plus some money to the top 5......... 50 grand to win the A in each class and a healthy payout to make the feature in each..
I would absolutely buy a ticket and drive 13 hours one way to see that deal

And you gotta beg Hewitt to come outta retirement to do this race...he could probably still end up bein the best overall
I was at the Mopar Million and it was a World 100 sized crowd. The million dollar mud cab race was some bigger, no doubt.
I can't find the video but Gamester was in the front for quite a few laps. He did fade after half way.
Silver Crown Championship Dirt Cars properly driven on a one mile dirt track are classic poetry in motion. Using that analogy, Jack Hewitt is one of the greatest poets of all time.
How about we put a million dollars in the track surface???

That was one of my favorite events of all time. Not the best race I've seen, but one of the best overall events for sure. I'd love to see another one. If they are going to do one based on a vote, late models will win with ease. Much bigger fan base than anything else that runs at E. So if they pass those out at each race, I'm sure that would win.
