For all the super guys that run some crate races. Fastrak finale in 2019 $50,000
For all the super late model guys that run crate races like Davenport & O'Neal. Just seen the Fastrak finale in 2019 will pay $50,000 to win at Virginia Motor Speedway.

Bloomer might show up in a crate for that race! -
This is a prime example of what is wrong with crate and why it doesn't deliver what is promised. A better idea would be to fatten the purse all the way thru and make it $5K to win max. Just like deep sea fishing, "Chum in the water draws ALL sharks, NOT just the little ones... and $50K is a lot of chum." This does nothing for the racers who support them week in and week out.Last edited by CageFaraday; 01-29-2018, 03:44 PM.“Yeah, well, you know, that’s just, like, your opinion, man.†— The DudeComment

I don't run with the Fastrak crates (I run mainly with the UCRA) but this is one they should only limit to people who have started #th amount of races in Fastrak that season to be eligible to run for that race. Just my honest opinion.Comment

For that kind of $$$ , if schedules permit it, your going to see a lot of SLM guys... Eckert, Franklin, Bloomquist has been there for less in his SLM, JD will find a ride. It's going to be all about scheduling.Comment

In a perfect world I would agree but there is no way VMS could allow that. While we all know Sawyer throws around money because he can it would be a stupid business decision. They need to draw a lot of cars and actual fans to cover a purse like that. Remember the tracks pay the purse for these things. Not the series. In the end I think they'll draw quite a few SLM guys and less actual crate guys. The SLM guys will put more fans in the stands though.Comment

Not to be a jerk, but it’s 2019, none of the schedules for then are out yet. Unless Knoxville is the same every year.Originally posted by 153J View PostUp in the air who my next “favorite†driver is. Really losing hope on Bloomer getting anywhere back to “normalâ€.Comment

hahaha typical , i didnt even see that partThe Stranger: Somebody left the door open and the wrong dogs came home.Comment

I was wondering if the dates were going to lineup with the national tours or not.
Side question. Has Bloomquist ever ran a crate or turned practice laps with one?Comment

I do hope they run it the same weekend as a big super late model race though. But, it’d have to be like Knoxville for example. One that is far away, and you’re not competing for fans, and will only lose maybe 3 drivers.Originally posted by 153J View PostUp in the air who my next “favorite†driver is.

this would be great if it where only for the drivers who support this series every weekend.Comment

In the past, they have run a race on Friday for Fastrak only drivers for 5k to win to go along with the headline race on Saturday"Life is either a daring adventure or nothing."
