Nobody can say with any certainty what sprint car racing will look like seven months from now. We have the largest weekly 410 field at Mercer in Western Pa. Even if the All-Stars don't bring a bunch of cars that means local teams can take home the lion's share of the increased purse, instead of like it has been forever where the purse goes up and the Outlaws or All-Stars ride out of town with the majority of the money. Add a couple dozen Outlaw Warrior sprints on the card and it is realistic to see over 50 sprint cars.
50??? Come on now...you can't possibly believe that is even remotely possible. Usually really like the racing at Mercer, but come one...
The other issue is, are people going to want to pay the increase in admission to see the same field? So someone is taking home more money, that's great for the teams. There has to be a draw to get people in the stands.
