I was pointing out that u said Knoxville winner made more than anyother race by far, wasn't comparing the history or anything else.Originally posted by CIRF View PostWhen we're talking Knoxville Nationals we're talking about an elite and iconic annual event that has been around for nearly 60 years. If this "Million" race gimmick is still around in 6 or 7 years and is a stand alone benchmark event in dirt racing then we'll talk. Even then it won't be in a class with The Chili Bowl. Some of the best and most highly regarded drivers in the world want to win The Chili Bowl, not for the money, but for the prestige of being one of a very select and elite group of drivers that owns a Golden Driller. It's a career maker/legacy maker type of victory that elite drivers want desperately to have on their final resume' even if it paid only black eyes and a split lip!

The format is just like any other WOO late model race that they have. The only difference is that they hold the sprint cars and the big block modifieds here as well. This is the final event of the season for the WRG racing bodies. Its just like Lucas and the DTWC

Factually you are 100% correct. Period. Just as the Eldora Million and the Mopar Million were factually legitimate million dollar races but they were an anomaly even though they were promoted and organized by one of the best promotional organizations in the history of racing. However, even those two events, as successful as they were, can't be compared to long established annual shows just as the (less than half) "million" of this past summer can't be compared, as well. At least not yet. If that doesn't make any sense to ya' it's not my fault!
