That would be amazing, the midwest is in need of that I feel and it for sure would be supported by drivers and fans!

$75,000 to win point fund? $15,000 for last place? For 30-35 races? Assuming that works out to the a $300-350k point fund, that's about $10k a race to the point fund. Where would that money come from? The economics don't make much sense.

That was my thought as well.  I'm not sure that it would even be feasible to have a point fund that high for a regional series.  (The All-Stars point fund isn't close to this big and the WoO point fund pays $100,000 to the champ if my memory is correct -- and that's for 3 times as many races).

The series will be about 30-35 races that will be run in ND, SD, NE, KS, IA, MO and possibly other neighboring states. This is not to put any other series out of business or in competition of any other series but to give 410 teams more opportunities to race. The series will have a very good points fund, paying the champion $75,000 to win. The drop off isn't that bad either with 10th place paying $15,000. If I'm not mistaken, the series plans to pay back to 15th spot. I'm trying to get more information about this series so if anyone has more info, please send it my way to [email protected] .

Caught wind of this 2 weeks ago.  Cannot give a name but can tell you this individual has owned multiple cars, in sprint car premiere series AND YES he has a Minnesota address!!   Obviously the numbers are not viable as a business, but neither is owning multiple cars.  Hope this becomes a reality!

Well if it's Mr Big Game that would be interesting. Any word on what the race purses will look like?

Hmmmm. A Big Game Sprint Car Series. I'd bite. Todd has supported sprint cars for a long time, with the team plans for next year up in the air (I haven't heard anything about Dollansky's plans for next year) I could see this becoming a reality.

Ask Frank

He can do more to benefit the sport by spending 500K on a series than one team.  It's his money, just thankful he's willing to spend it on the sport everyone here enjoys so much.

Anybody know what knoxville pays out for their point fund?

Buddy of mine said he saw Todd Brown Smoke having an intense meeting at Kville earlier this year

Ive seen links to this rumor from fellow drivers,(mildly we have observed)  i cant help but notice one of the dates and venues happend to be RRVS. regardless ,as a Midwest sprint team, we are intrested,very interested. silly season has begun,lets hope the cat is out of the bag.

5,000 to win each night, good start money as well!

FAAAAT chance this will happen!  $75,000 for first in point fund, $5000 to win races, Not a chance.  Didn't Kennedy just fold his traveling NDRL.  The guy at IBRacn desperate for news so he makes some up!  Point fund pays out to 15th.  NAH/BS

Lawlessness + liberalism = HELL -  NYC, Detroit, Chicago, 
Seattle, LA  Who the H runs those cities. 

Obviously you haven't seen what I've seen.  Made up...right!

GO SAMMY!

I have no money to do something like this, but it has crossed my mind what it would take and how one could pull it off in the area.  I was thinking more along the lines of what Moro is doing for Friday nights at the IA St Fairgrounds.  Seems like he is trying to build something out of the 305 class.  Had a Sprint Invaders race their around the 4th this season, it had a decent car count.

As great as this sounds and I think it could be great for the area and the sport, but I can't imagine they will be racing on Saturdays competing against Knoxville just isn't a great idea and splitting the cars between Knoxville and a traveling series isn't good for anybody

And if this series, and the new Renegade series could get in Illinois, or Indiana somehow for a couple co-sanctions, that would be a show. 

who said that they have to run saturday nights.  Sprint car shows could run specials any night, bring cars into area and also run on sat at Knoxville.

Don't see this happening.  Would be nice for the drivers and fans and if someone wants to go broke have at it. 

XXX?  I thought Triple X was a wrestler

nobody said they had to race on Saturday - I just said that I don't think it would be very smart or beneficial for anyone involved for them to try and race on Saturdays

At $50000 to $60000 a pop for motors where are the cars coming from?
