Nice payout. Pay for the weekend ticket, go 4 rounds each day, get your gate fee back + $125. Paybacks to 3rd round loser each day provided 512 cars are staged for round 1 each day. I ran the numbers just out of curiosity to see how much the track would be making on just racer gate fees after their payouts are taken care of. Assuming 512 cars are staged for round 1 each day for all 3 days (that's staged, not entered), they're looking at $168,200 ($396,800 entry fee - $228,600 purse payout). And then there's the spectator gate, concessions, and sponsors. Optimal numbers for certain, which is why they would give themselves a cushion in order to meet the guaranteed purse should a lower amount of racers show up. Wow.
