    The dirt cup race should be fought out between larson, bell, red(not a nice word)(not a nice word)(not a nice word)(not a nice word), and briscoe I would assume.

    I took it as he was talking about Mr. H.

    If Larson had $550,000 in winnings as a previous post stated and has to split even 50% with his car owner Paul Silva, that puts him at $275,000 (give or take exact winning totals and share percentage). According to the article below from a few year ago, NASCAR drivers make pennies to the dollar on t-shirt sales, while the top dirt drivers can make over six figures a year. What are the odds Larson made as much, or more in t-shirt sales than he did in his share of winnings?Example: If true (previous post above) that 6,000 shirts were sold at Port Royal (6,000 × $25 = $150,000).https://www.google.com/amp/s/nascar....r-drivers/amp/

    I’m sure Larson will be like other Hendrick drivers and he will invest with Rick and turn millions into 100’s of millions.

    With his base, which is probably 1 to 1.5 million, sponsor appearance dollars, if there's a sponsor. Incentives from HMS, tee shirt sales. I say he makes 2 million easily.

    I will give him some cred for running his own stuff.

    No wins were in his own equipment. I've heard most sprint car drivers get 50%

    I'm not sure what operational costs are for sprint cars. Most drivers are way better off collecting a percentage.

    Wonder how much of that money he actually pocketed? 30%?
