I'd wager good money that the same exact field runs for $65K that does to $75K. If you're talking fans, then maybe I could see it, but even then I doubt it. Not sure how WG crowds typically are but my guess is it wouldn't have that large of an affect on tickets sold either.

The National Open is a SRO crowd no matter how much it pays. I remember when it went from 25G to 50G to win a few years ago, really didn't have much affect on car or fan count. It's always been 1 of the biggest races.

Assuming everything goes back to normal in 2021, the 4 Crown Jewels will pay a combined $500k to win. Just a few years ago that number was less then $300k, so we're making progress.

Only fitting the Posse host the best paying sprint car race in the world. We race come sleet, snow or Covid. We set the bar on every other front.

Wave that 2020 flag Cubes. Triple X probably gave the sprint car world COVID, right?

I just wonder what kind of field they would have if it wasn't a woo show. The time of year is just right that I think they would still bring in 60 plus cars. Will never know but I wonder.

Nothing can stop the Posse. Not COVID, not a democratic governor, not February or November. Doubt even Russian poison (DD is usually frothing at the mouth anyway) or an asteroid, would probably just race around the crater.
They don't even know how to spell sprint car
much less chromoly...http://www.ycmco.com

For those of you from that area, how does the race format compare to the Knoxville National format? Or is it simply a WoO race?
