Congratulation to Jeff Verdi

and Jeff does it again, winning his second "Million" dollar race in 6 months!

He is the Top Gun!!

Don't know what the split was but based on entries, the winner would get $300,000!

Congrats

I only logged in this morning to see how the key board jokies ( I mean jockeys - LOL) would react to Jeff - I was not disappointed - some can not help but be a POS

In his two wins this year, Jeff won almost six-hundred thousand dollars ($570,000).

For comparison sake, winning fifty (50) NHRA national events would earn about the same amount (based on winners purses the past few years of twelve (12) grand).

Congrats Jeff.

Thread on livestream stated the win was $173k, and the splits started at 20 cars.

Not true, Jeff took home less than $100,000 from his Million win earlier this year and just over $150,000 last night.

Ok. I was basing it on before any split(s). Still a nice chunk of change, almost a quarter-million dollars for two wins (the same basically as twenty-one [21] national event wins).

almost a 1/4 million is a big difference from almost $600,000.

Still great wins and I believe more $ than anyone has ever won bracket racing in a single year.

Here's a link to the story on Jeff's win at Las Vegas.

Yes - splits are common in this type of $$$$ racing. Not so much in Class Racing because the $ is not that big.
