I understand that prize money is not a major factor in the heavily sponsored Pro teams. They are already funded. But can someone explain why there wasn’t a great turnout for the top alcohol classes at the triple crown? Would they make more money from contingency sponsors by going to Norwalks divisional race? What am I missing here?

No I the contingency won't make up the difference. But I believe the Norwalk group are looking at the bigger picture and comment.

It was 15000$ to win alky at Columbus. I think 2500$ at Norwalk. 7500$ to win IHRA alky national vs 5600$ nhra(I think). IHRA alky point champ get 50000$ for 8 races vs probably at least 14 in NHRA. I would expect Joey and Jackie to be at Milan. I would believe lots alky car at Maple Grove.
