I wasn't thinking in terms of drag racing, I took it for granted that we were confining the discussion to oval track or road course racing. That's okay, drag racing is very much a motor sport, just not in regards to the spirit of the conversation.
However, it's easy to see which dirt track race is the most lucrative from a winners perspective. That having been said, there are races that everyone has an increased desire to win. Such as in the midget world it's The Chili Bowl, it doesn't pay as much as some other crown jewel's but it has the prestige and exposure. Same way with the World Hundred for late models and The Little 500 for wingless sprints and The Hoosier Hundred for USAC Silver Crown Champ Cars.
