GM CEO Mary Barra received $21.6 million in compensation last year, so not even close...

Interesting.

Makes complete sense though.. especially since majority of the racers have motorhomes. That could be great if at national events they have camping world rep there or a trailer set up.. Imagine all the things that they could sell in midway to the motorhome owners? Trailer/camper and moho (motorhome) accessories? Outdoor grilling accessories, have rv displays set up to go in if you are in the market, maintenance parts, generators (or parts), the list goes on.. Multiply that by 24 national events? Camping world could hit a home run getting into business with NHRA.

While true CW could probably sell some parts on the midway they don’t particularly enjoy a sterling reputation with the RV crowd. However, if they signed on I’d probably shop more with them. I’m all for supporting companies that provide support to my passions and the country. I’m guilty of buying too much from Amazon anyway.

I am guessing Marcus Lemonis took one look at what Coca-Cola was paying and figured that's a drop in the bucket for great exposure for his company.

sportsman at national events, why they are still there. it is a multi part marketing and business plan, not just the national event entry fee. sportsman need to run national events for points toward championship, and also for sponsors and racing on a national stage, maybe even a mention on a national tv broadcast. how do you get to race at that national event, spend lots of money racing divisional events, which nhra gets a percentage of. as most business owners know, repeat customers is where you make your money. so even if they only make $100 net profit off you at national event, you probably went to 5 divisionals and they made another $500 plus license fee, plus membership fee, plus chassis cert fee
