I think maybe the reason for upping the purse for the T/S and T/D cars at the nationals was probably done to whisk in the more exspensive faster cars so they could have there quick 8 shootouts...im not saying I haven't seen some super stickers out there that prob cost more than a T/S car but I guess we all have to deal with it atleast they did up all purses at natls and are having 2 5K races this year..if you look at the divisional payouts T/S and T/D get 20$ more first rd and 10$ more rd 3 and up 100 more to runner up than ss and 400 more to won than ss. So it kinda looks like the choice to raise the purse at nationals was to draw in faster cars make a 32 car field harder to qualify in and have a quick 8 shootout...but I don't know im just saying could be the reason
