There has been alot of talk about paying the winner of a Sprint Cup race 1 million dollars. The idea is the drivers would race harder, and the money could come from paying the rest of the field a little less.
If a driver is going to or will drive harder to win a race just because it pays more, then I think the car owner or team need to get a new driver.
The amount of money suggested to make up the 1 million was $15,000 from each spot. So how does that affect the rest of the field for the race and for the year. This is what I came up with.
$15,000 x 36 races per year = $540,000 less per spot for the year
$15,000 x 42 competitors per race = $630,000 away from the field per race
$630,000 x 36 races per year = $22,680,000 away from the field per year
Taking $22,680,000 away from the field in a year, SHEER GENIUS
