If you made it $15,000 to win in Factory Shootout wouldn't even more racers show up?

BINGO! Those other races with nice purses are what NHRA can't compete with and are losing racers to. Pro Stock is almost irrelevant in the scope of things. FS/XX might be for (fun) but how long will they stick with it for (no) return? Like an old Pro Stock racer and friend says "Want to make a small fortune racing? Start with a Big one!"
