    NOT TRUE.... 2021 was 25K to win because Davenport won & got 10K bonus for a total of 35K for the Sunday win.

            I thought the lease was up with the state land the track is on and it was moving.

              Exactly correct. Arizona Speedway closes for good at the end of this year. That state has sold the land. People have no idea the logistics and needs for an event like this. I don't understand the vitriol about it going to a temporary home. We didn't want to have to move it anywhere but we weren't given a choice. The race belongs where it can be handled best for everyone involved. We can't just throw it together at any track. Vado was the best available option for 2022.

                Unfortunately Kelly, no other Arizona tracks were contacted about hosting the event. Besides, Vado will do great & the Jones family can recoup some of the money they have put into this event while sponsoring it when it was held in Arizona. You say temporary home but you know as well as I do unless there is some sweetheart deal made, it will never leave Vado. Good luck to the WWSO. Until it comes back to Arizona where it belongs, I will NOT attend or purchase PPV.

                  Because no current track in Arizona is available or suitable for this event on these dates. Conspiracies in this sport are just so weird to me. I am here telling you. CK has told everyone that asked. There is no big secret or hidden agendas. I mean lets think about it - since moving to the Phoenix area the event has been more successful than ever. So if there was a viable option that is where it would have gone. There are logistical issues and other needs that made the decision. This is a business and the event went where it could do the best for 2022. Maybe don't count your chickens before they hatch. Even Royal alluded in the press release to the fact that it was a temporary solution.

                  And if you are a Flo subscriber you have already bought the PPV.

                    May have to rethink my subscription purchases from this point forward. Don't want to help you, Chris Kearns or anyone associated with the WWSO. WWSO started in Casa Grande, You are telling me they were NOT a viable option???? Good day

                      I miss it not being @Arizona Speedway. Have a place to stay 15 miles away. Hopefully it goes back someday.

                        Man read the post. Casa was not a viable option. It started at CG. It has grown significantly and the facility just isn't capable of handling the event and its needs. Its not a slight to CG or an attempt to put them down, its just how it is.

                          Yep, read it perfectly. CK doesn't want to keep it in AZ anyway. He wants to cater to the teams to make it easier to get to Florida. I get it. I really do but I really hope it rains every night in 2022. Couldn't happen to greater bunches of guys(sarcasm).....

                            I don't have a knife in this fight but Voodoo man you need to grow up a little bit in my opinion. A business goes where they think they can best succeed. Sorry it isn't where you want it.

                              WRONG 100%! CK and every other member of the team wants it in Arizona so you obviously don't have any idea what you are talking about. I really like that you are a screen name to me and yet you know my name. But your thoughts are petty and unfortunate.
