Current all-told expenses for an NHRA Lucas Oil weekend are about $70K for the track operator, between sanctioning fee (around $15K), payout, staff, insurance, lights, and amortized expenses (but not including real estate).

The "bogey" to make a profit is therefore probably between 380-400 cars depending on the track. Current car counts vary between 280 to 420, depending on weather, date, and location. It's not a low risk proposition even with the current payout.

And there may be fewer contingency sponsors, but I've noticed a higher percentage of them pay quickly.
