Wow they are putting up huge money. Look at racexr.com for the Bristol money. All 25k to win for 6 nights. 20 nights total for the series on 2022 with all paying at least 25k.
Someone tell me why Dirtvision, Flo, are not getting rich off the streaming? This proves they are making huge money by having these shows.
It’s DLM racing, no one is getting rich.Quote:

I doubt it with his scheduling skills.
It’s the NDRL all over again.
It’s actually 8 nights at Bristol for $25k and a $100k to point champion.
I read their press releases and I am a little confused on what their goal is. Are they trying to reward regional racers with big payouts or to "steal" drivers away from WoO and Lucas Oil? I think either of those would be okay, but the schedule doesn't seem conducive to either.
Who is backing this guy is my question ? Burton Smith, Humpy Wheeler ? Then Penske comes out with the big money shows in Arizona. In my opinion, that is not the type of people you want involved in dirt racing. Big money has ruined all major league racing from F1 to NHRA.
Quiet. You'll upset people.Quote:

Glad Stuart is 20 minutes from me. Hopefully these stay scheduled.
I like Marcus, i think he's an innovator. He saw enough at Bristol to get involved even more!Quote:

NDRL could get the fans to support $20k races. This is much more than that.
High money on top does nothing to solve the dying car counts these days. Only a few drivers walk away with money.
Boy the rumors that are going to start flying around know. A 50.00 ticket per 10,000 fans is 500,000. How many people can they pack in there ? 1000.00 entry fee @ 100 cars = 100,000. It is definitely possible. Maybe Tony wants to send some of these xr series track owners a invite. :)
Care to elaborate or just continue to throw out some math and a vague comment about rumors flying?Quote:

What is the total purse for a $25,000 to win event and what is the breakdown for each position;
