That is unfortunately the way higher level racing is, you either need family money or corporate money backing you to make a go of it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The kids race shop used to be right at the entrance to the company headquarters, so you'd drive in and the first thing you'd see is 2-3 NASCAR sized haulers to go race a asphalt late model with. Then again, if my old man was willing to bankroll that, I'd sure as hell do it too! Edited July 4, 2017 by racinfarmer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For a number of years he has pulled in a name driver just before the NH cup race. Just a guess but I doubt the track could afford to pay. KB has raced late models in the NE before winning the prestigious Oxford 250 a few years ago. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tony Stewart has raced late models in Fargo a couple times when Donny Schatz's dad was track promoter. A couple other drivers have been in the area too, but it was vacation and not for racing. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ken Squire has some serious pull but with the new owners that pull might end. Besides the named drivers others have raced here and Petty and Allison have done autograph sessions. These guys don't always race for the bucks which is great for the little bullring fans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As much as I like getting some of the big names at the local tracks, I'd rather have some of the drivers that run a bunch of World of Outlaws or Lucas Oil shows drop in from time to time. Hard to get those guys when a local show, even in the top class, probably pays less then $1500 to win. Not sure what the asphalt guys would be, buy probably Whelen or ASA?
