This may not be a popular but!! Compared to NASCAR. The Coke Zero 400 Race.
Greg Biffle came in last and was paid $91,612 the worst payment was a Little over $83,000.00. First place paid over $315,000.00. NHRA top fuel and funny car will now get $50,000.00 for winning. They don’t get paid a lot for what it cost to run one. Yes they have big money sponsors but there dropping like flies. And your right the only increase the sportsmen will get is in the entry fee. Unfortunately I believe our sport is going to go through some massive changes in the next few years. With the economy in the condition it’s in, the Car counts will continue to drop, in all categories. Sorry for gloom and doom but it is what it is. Let’s all Hope it will get better.
