Do they also pay a purse as the series sponsor ?

I completely understand that. As with Pro Stock they aren't in it to win money, but at least Pro Stock gets $25,000. Granted that doesn't cover the costs of their program either but it does look a lot better than $1,500. What about Laughlin winning $50,000 for his small tire race win at Lights Out? If you made it $15,000 to win in Factory Shootout wouldn't even more racers show up?
