Personally, I don't think anything will change until guys quit showing up and there aren't enough guys to race. As long as guys can show up and race, it will stay the same. I have no problem with the GoFundMe accounts, but I don't think those are a long term solution. I think the only way the real privateers can make a change is if they hold out for money and stop showing up until something changes. I don't see an easy solution to the problem.
Just my opinion, and I don't think there is any problem with fans helping out if they can and choose too. I just don't think guys scoring in the top 20 should even need to be struggling for support. It is a shame that a rider of Lamay's ability is having trouble getting support for the national's. He has been riding pretty well.
these riders are getting paid exactly what they're worth. if it isnt worthit..they shouldnt show up
JB Hunt the trucking company has to raise truckers pay because all of their drivers keep quitting and they can't get anyone.
SUPPLY AND DEMAND!
The reason why this country used to be so great is because he had FREE MARKETS!! unfortunately it isnt like that anymore but you get the point
I see how some of my friends and relatives struggle with not so great jobs and jobs they hate and I would like to help as many people as I can, so long as I can at least break-even, even if that means I am never self employed or never personally benefit from the business, as long as its not in the red.
FELD has been doing it for years, if they weren't making (good) money they wouldn't be doing it.
Rather than just sit like a bump on a log, I started crunching the numbers to get an idea of what they bring in from one event and their expenditures, I chose to do Indy and have been using numbers based on attendance, renting Lucas oil stadium, etc. gonna keep crunching numbers this week.

Free market is what we got, it's just not fair market.
Nascar has seen some cutbacks too.
Nascar driver salaries have been shaved in recent years with fewer dollars available as sponsors cut back on their financial commitments to teams. Drivers that once made $4-6 million in salary are getting re-signed to deals for $3 million in some cases. Guys on poorly funded teams are lucky to make seven figures. Licensing and endorsement money has also dried up for all but the very elite drivers. Endorsement deals that once paid $500,000 a clip are now $250,000 and many have disappeared completely.
But for the sport’s stars, the paychecks are nearly as big as ever and can reach eight figures in salary alone. The 10 highest-paid drivers pulled down $170 million in 2013 in cumulative salary, endorsements and their share of winnings and licensing income. It is on par with what the top 10 made five years ago. There is a scramble among the teams to sign high profile drivers that consistently end up in the winner’s circle and make the Chase year after year, garnering valuable TV time for sponsors. These drivers can still attract big sponsorship dollars and will command top salaries. The big drop off in income comes after the first dozen or so drivers.
Leading the way for the sixth straight year is Dale Earnhardt Jr., who earned $25.6 million in 2013 by Forbes’ count. Earnhardt’s licensing income is down significantly from five years ago when he was making $30 million a year, but he is still the sport’s biggest star with the biggest salary, as well as the top licensing and endorsement income, according to sources.
MX Sports Pro Racing is once again making our annual contribution to the Asterisk Mobile Medics, just as Feld Motor Sports does for supercross, donating $130,000 to the medical unit. (Our donation will be slightly less but still over six figures, which is the number Doc Bodnar and Tom Carson told us they would need to stay on the road for the 12-round motocross series.) We do not charge them for their sponsorship of the series, nor do we sell sponsorship to another knee-brace company. In fact, we pay about $10,000 per race for them to be at each event.
Why is the winner in the 250 class only getting $3,350? That is a joke. I went through the payout and upped the numbers to where I felt the riders should get and came up with about $100,000 more than they are paying out now.
It is what it is, I disagree with how much they pay out and out of curiosity Im gonna look into how much they spend for an event like that, how much they bring in, etc.
btw Feld is a billionaire because of all his endeavors....good for him.
"I went through the payout and upped the numbers to where i felt the riders should get and came up with about $100,000 more than they are paying out now."
Who the fuck do you think you are, to decide how much the riders should get paid, especially with somebody else's money?
Maybe you're just 'trolling'....
You may have jus' been hooked!

You should have known...
Time will tell how I do in the business world, but so far its been very positive.
Your gross assumptions and "Negative Outlook" toward those that've managed to keep the sport doing well at the Pro level? Well, that speaks volumes.
Pit Row
speaking of that, what do you get when a JB. Hunt driver leaves a truckstop?
Maybe you guys should try & help him get a sponsor, call around, trucking companies, 5 hour energy.
I mean, the guy is fast...
why do you think engineers get high starting salaries out of college? because for every 20 liberal arts grads, theres 1 engineering major.
and guess what..what you're saying about only the creme of the crop getting paid while everyone else is getting the shaft..the same thing is happening in the business world.
business is realizing it's worth it to pay excessively for top talent and that the B and C players deserve the pennies they get.
