I guess the real answer is in the details. Look up the payout plus the contingency that you would be eligible for at the race or races.

Read the fine print on eligibility for contingency and make sure you qualify for it when factoring it in.

Ask Dan Fletcher, he might know!

national,10 to 13 thousand was 18 to 20 in 2009. Divison-1500.00 tops Grant Lewis 2780 STK.S/STK.

Grant , you hit it just about right .
I made more money a few years ago for a Nat R/u. Than for a win this year !
But we really aren't doing this for the money are we .

1987 won $13000,guess things haven't changed much.Ha-ha

Re: winning
 

Dumb question, do stockers pay same national event entry as other classes that pay 1800 to win? I see in ND they only get 1500.

Sadly they do

Two years ago, I talked to a father-son team that was at one of my S/SS races. The dad was R/U at a Nat'l event 6-7 years ago, and got over eleven grand ($11,000) then. His son WON a Nat'l that year, and got barely over thirteen thousand ($13,000). Contingency generally pays 3 to 1, Win over R/U. Dan Fletcher said earlier this year that not long ago, he got 18-19 grand for a Nat'l win; now he's lucky to get 13. Thank the Lord for contingency (if you can ACTUALLY get your money), because the base purse sucks. $1,800 for winning Indy. INDY! You'd think a race that size would have a much bigger payout to win. I do a S/SS race in Hagerstown that annually pays $2,000 to win, and this year could actually pay $2,500 to $3,000 to win.
