Not sure if you are trying to make a comparison to SX purses but if you were it is not relevant. SX is not even a gnats ass to what the Daytona 500 is in regards to $$$.
Can someone tell my why the riders dont have soviniers(sp) trailers like drivers.
Never understood that,i know they move areound but you got a year.
Dale jr sold 65 million dollars worth of t shirts last year,i know,no comparing but hell,people would by about anything you make if they like the guy
The Shop
More fans attend 16 rounds of SX than all of the nascar races? How about all the merchandise all over the nation? Dale Jr is one if the most popular motorsports figures in the world! NASCAR is huge and not even comparible to our sport as far as popularity! Not to mention the multiple million TV deal paid to nascar for the rights to show it.
Daytona, is called speed weeks. Just this week there is hours long coverage everyday of practice, qualifying, more practice, a bud shoot out, the twin quitting races (tonight) all culminating at the Daytona 500 this weekend. Can't even compare the two sports as far as popularity. Go to any store in the south and you'll find something NASCAR.
This has to be a cast post which hook, lined and sinkered me.
What would you guess the budgets are at RCH, JGR, Hendrick...Roush...etc?
This is funny.

I like the idea of selling rider merchandise but it would only help the riders like RV and Dungey who already make millions.
The riders that need it, the privateers, would have to give it away for anyone to wear it.
How does the rest of your ramble prove otherwise? I believe hillbilly said "attending"...not "TV deals" or "popularity" or whats in stores in the "south". I don't know if thats true...but sounds like you don't either as far as facts.
And the girls at the local wal mart that sell them might crack 7.50 an hour.
The new president of WestVirginiaU pulls 450,000.00 a year, plus a car, plus moving expenses,
plus airfare for wherever he want's to go.
And you pay him.
And the people that make prescription drugs, the things that some of us need to stay alive but can't afford,
are millionaires many times over.
And the guy that runs the United Way, along with his buddy at the Red Cross, close to half a mil a year.
That the owner of Feld, a guy that built it from nothing, doesn't act any different, is that really a shocker?
Over 99,000 spectators per event in Nascar with around 30 events.
Supercross average is around 50,000 per event with 17 rounds.
Not even close....

There are still some $40 million dollar deals out there for the Super-stars...or so it's said.
I agree with all that you've said.
RCH...funny.
Pit Row
Speaking of pit crews, did you know that back in the day, Wendell Scott used to climb out of his car and change his own tires and refuel during a pitstop? He was a bad mofo. Poor as heck, but a bad mofo. Assuming you meant how many pit crew members go over the wall, let's see...jack man, front tire carrier, front tire changer, rear tire carrier, rear tire changer, gas man. I count six, what about you?
On a side note, I'd like to see a comparison between sprint cars (World of Outlaws) and SX/MX. I love watching sprint cars, stockers, bombers, mods, etc. Don't know what their avg payout is. Could be closer to SX/MX.
Saturday cannot get here fast enough.
About the attendance?
Actually I did 2 minutes of research. Just that little bit will show that even with nascar attendance declining, there are far more fans at their races than SX and they have 2x as many rounds.
If people can't see why NASCAR pays what they do for purse money and think SX is in the same world they are on another planet.
Yes, I do live in the south and yes EVRYWHERE you turn here it is Nascar. I guarantee you I can find something nascar related in any convenience store, or gas station.
You can't compare our sport to Nascar. Even though they are "motorsports" they are vastly different. Fan demographics are different, coverage is different and more people can relate to racing their cars.
Obviously, my sport of choice is SX/MX but to even comparing budgets and purses between the two is laughable. DO you know how many employees the big teams have full time?
I do understand that Hillbilly was just making a statement and not neccesarily comparing, and he's right..... There sure is a lot of coin for last place!!
They started from not much at all. They must have employed some marking gurus.
I love moto as much as anyone but you are delusional if you think nascar is dead
....or you are on a moonshine fishing exedition
SX is more comparable to ARCA or World Of Outlaws..
NASCAR creating their own stats,yeah,right.
Hell,bristol was half full,i used to triple my money on my 12 tickets,now i buy for less than half from scalpers.
You make shirts for each rider with there sponsors on them and number,sell out of one truck,rider gets a percent.
Next year,if the rider changes,shirt changes,collect them and have your fav riders history in shirts.
Problem?
To compare the payout is pretty silly.
