I mean, you're definitely stacking the deck at that point aren't you? I get the basic logic...how else to guarantee a full field, right?... but it's one of the reasons I don't buy the ticket. Maybe this could be viewed as an incentive or bonus to struggling teams but I doubt that will be the case. As you point out, what about the drivers that get a purse %? Actually, is the IRL more transparent about their purses and what positions pay what than other series? God, I do love Russian accents, though. Well laced with vodka.

The winner should get 10%, my guess being about $2.75, after the promoter deducts expenses. In lieu of revenue sharing, TG should have all the teams race for a piece of the gate.

TBF will link you back. When I first saw the article from NASCAR hater Robin Miller at SPEED, I thought it was a joke. Well, it is a joke and so I kind of went with it from there.
