I'd be willing to guess there isn't a single big money race out there in the past ten years where the winner took home the posted purse. There is always some sort of split, sometimes several rounds before the end.
I have been to a few $10,000 and $25,000 races and there were always deals to split the money when it got down to a few drivers (4-8). And some "teams" would agree to pay each member from the one that got the farthest. To get the high entry fees back.
I don't like them. And only entered the years I was on my best.
I have always said I would rather race for a trophy with $20 entry fee, than winner take all with a $100 entry.
