I think they've voted in guys before who already had it on their schedule and guys who already even run the woo tour which is stupid but clearly the reason this thing exists for the rich team owner of a popular driver that is not going to this race because he doesn't want to spend the $2K it costs to get there because he runs a business that has to make adult decisions that will help make sure his business can stay in operation. If someone offers to cover their travel expenses then it's almost a no brainer to make the trip and enter the race... hence the fans get to see a guy come race who otherwise wouldn't have come. Has more to do with the business side of racing, the part you obviously have no clue about.
    I think he understands perfectly. He believes that when a team has already invested hundreds of thousands of dollars, will put $1k worth of wear on their engine, spend $1k for tires for the weekend, they can foot the bill for gas if they wish to go. Its his opinion. And I think pretty valid

          SLM is not a business. Almost everyone loses money. Its a bunch of sugar daddies wanting to see their cars win races.

You make it sound like racers are hurting. If they can wheel down the road in toter-homes, they got the $2.50/gallon to fuel er up. These racers have to be laughing the back of their mind that people are willing to hand them money just so they show up? Oh but wait, they get a hot dog and a 5 dollar tshirt out of it so that makes it ok! LMAO!!!!!!!!!!!
            We live in America, where you are free to make choices with our money. If you don't want to give, that is fine, but you are dead wrong if you think these teams are swimming in money.

            PS-This dirty white boy character is negative 24-7 and was booted off the stlracing forum.

              You act like its a requirement that you donate. Don't vote and donate if you dont want to, but don't belittle the concept. Because its a great idea.
