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/guesses on some of the payouts. The Saturday E Main transfer money only goes up to fourth place on the Knoxville website, but they transferred seven cars. So I extended the transfer money to seventh place and then used the purse structure from 8th on down as listed on the website. This also applies to the Saturday night D Main, which transferred 5 cars instead of four cars. Any car that scratched from a race is listed as a DNS in the spreadsheet, with no payout money for that race included.
Enjoy:

I think I heard Tony B say at least once or twice how this was the "biggest purse in sprint car racing", during my 4 days down there.

57 drivers got 3,000.00 or more for the week.
79 drivers got 2,000.00 or more for the week.
Yes they had to race 3 nights for those totals. No where else would you get that type of money for not qualifying for the big show.

Great payouts.
However lots of teams lost big $$$ over the weekend figuring in travel - fuel/tolls, hotels-camping, food, race fuel -tires - wear and tear, etc. It takes deep pockets to try to make the show. I'd say if you didn't earn close to $20k it had better beeen a good learning experience.

If you are in sprint car racing to make money as an owner, you are in the wrong business.

Better question is.....if you have a fast sprint car. Why wouldn't you go to the Nationals?
