I've made a spreadsheet like this for the past few editions of the Knoxville Nationals. It includes a full breakdown of driver earnings through each day of the Nationals including contingency awards. The final tab features the total earned by each driver throughout the Nationals. The purse structure where I got this information can be found at https://www.knoxvilleraceway.com/Event/knoxville-nationals.

I did have to make some adjustments as the Saturday E Main transfer money on the Knoxville Raceway website goes up to sixth place, but they only transferred five cars. So I moved the non-transfer money up one position. The Saturday D Main transfer money only goes up to fourth place on the Knoxville website, but they transferred six cars. So I extended the transfer money to sixth place and then continued down the purse structure like normal. Additionally, during the 2019 Nationals, they paid $350 to the hard charger on Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday. I couldn't find any information stating that the hard chargers during the 2021 Nationals got any additional money, so if someone has that information then let me know.

Ask Frank

They kept saying the purse was around $1.07m and everything I've seen based on the published purses is around $1m, so there's probably an updated purse they didn't publish, or they got creative in coming up with the $1.07m number. Either way, as always, far and away the best purse in all of short-track racing.

Thanks for doing this.
