NASCAR to reallocate prize money :Start And Parks
NASCAR to reallocate prize money: NASCAR will reallocate prize
money from the last five spots in the field this season in an attempt to
make it less profitable for teams to start and park. "We moved prize
money higher in the purse, so if someone's intent is solely to run a lap
or two and park, the revenue stream shrinks,'' NASCAR president Mike
Helton said Tuesday during an "Autoweek" panel discussion in Detroit.
According to NASCAR, each position from 43rd through 39th will receive
$4,000 less for each position. For example, 39th will receive $4,000
less than 38th, 40th $4,000 less than 39th, etc. NASCAR spokesman Kerry
Tharp emphasized this is not a reduction in purses, that the overall
prize money in 2013 will increase slightly. He said the money taken away
from the last five spots will be redistributed "throughout the
remainder of the field.''(ESPN)(2-6-2013)
