While racing with the @SprintInvaders, @paul_nienhiser was involved in an accident and suffered a broken back. He & his family need support during this difficult time. Every donation makes a difference.

Ending your program at a decent hour and having your pit area full of fans after the races is how you build fan equity for the future.

The day we stop pretending the purse is where anybody in racing makes money it will be a good day.
End of the day
$10k Win
- $5k to driver
- $1k in tires
- $1k in equipment wear
- $1k hotels/passes/diesel/etc
- $1k rent/employees/misc
Best case I just break even when we win if it pays $10k. Driver makes a little depending on his personal travel expenses, but typically it just offsets the bad nights more than become a bonus for anyone.
$330 for one rear tire when it’s MAYBE $1k to start.
Either the purse has to go up exorbitantly or we need to work together to bring in new companies to the sport. An neither is happening at the rate it’s needed.
Nothing about this is viable for owners right now unless you need a write off lol

"Running the bottom is like working a real job. It sucks and it's boring but if you commit to it you can make some money."
That quote from the legendary Jack Hewitt really pops into my head every year during the Chili Bowl.

Let’s all take a moment to recognize a guy in shorts and a t-shirt who with zero hesitation selflessly helped @Zeb_Wise01 from what was just seconds before that, an inferno of a literal explosion. Laying upside down with fuel all over is the worst feeling ever. Fucking HERO 🤜🏿
