The Badlands Motor Speedway era is just 31 days away, and we’re opening the doors with a BANG!
The payout system is very unique and today the total payout jumped as the price of silver reached $17.11 per ounce. The entire purse on opening night, featuring the 410-Sprint Cars and Late Model Street Stocks, will be paid out in 10 oz. Silver Bars. If the race were today, the total purse for the May 21 opener would be $114,465 with $28,402 going to the 410-Sprint Car winner and $2,224 going to the Late Model Street Stock winner.
A driver can take his or her Silver Bars to Badlands Pawn the very next day and exchange them for cash. Or, they can hang to the bars to see if the price of silver will increase over time. Last September, Badlands Founder and CEO Chuck Brennan bought 669 10 oz Silver Bars. At that time, the bars were valued at $100,350 with the winner of the 410-Sprint Car feature taking home 166 of them – a value worth $24,900! Not a bad payday for the season-opener.
It might be worth hanging on to the silver. Four years ago, Silver was nearly three times its value today and its most certainly going to continue to climb.
