Did anyone else hear at Eldora that this years World 100 will pay $93,000 in honor of Earl Baltes? I was curious and it would be interesting if true.

I can't see Earl wanting it that way. Since the race started in 1971 the winners purse has only increased by a $1,000 each year.

I wondered the same thing but thought possibly had to do with Earl being 93 when he passed. Probably no truth to it but wanted to see if anyone heard anything. Originally Posted by Oley Wilkersen

Would NOT do anything of the sort. Keep it as it has been, and just find ways to honor Earl. Nice idea, but just wouldn't do it imo.
Up in the air who my next “favorite” driver is. Really losing hope on Bloomer getting anywhere back to “normal”.

2015 Dream will be talked about for a very long time! Not only abuot the switch back heartbreak, but man what a great race!
