So my feeling is the REAL big leaguers are actually the promoters of such events.

No one is clearing a million in profit at one of those events. Not even close.

I know for a fact that at one of the big ones..house cars got deep in the money and fed a good amount back to promoters because they where entered and recieved buybacks for free in return for winning percentages

No question that the big winners are the promoters.

That said, none of the millions have paid a million because none have met the minimum number of entries for that payout and if one ever does, the winner won’t take home 500,000 with the splits going back to at least 32 cars.

Back to the pot smoking, legal and illegal drug use and drinking by some of these big leaguers, perpetual round of 16 players and winners of these big $ races hosted by some promoters and well known by many racers competing at these events including Scott, happy birthday and Chris as well spoken about by Luke and Jed last year on their podcast, is not something I condone nor want to be a part and I dam sure ain’t putting my son snd my cars on the track with that element in the other lane no matter how much money is up for grabs. I wasn’t a pot head in high school, drink socially, 2 beers or ****tails max, never took illegal drugs, don’t like taking prescription drugs for medical issues, never been arrested for DUI and never will “accidentally” overdose.

I stand corrected...actual numbers the house cars fed back 140k to the promoter putting his profit at right about 500,000

At the Memphis million last year a buddy of mine was paying his tab when one of the "big leaguers" was paying theirs and it was $19,000 I just can't wrap my brain around that.

Who were these house cars and which race did that happen?
