With one of those championships, that's almost $300,000 to win. Not bad for a year of modified racing. Hughes, Phillips, Gustin, maybe Sanders, maybe Kelly, (who else?) etc., are all capable of winning 1/3 of these, you reckon?
If you know of other 'Big Ones' for Open Wheel Modifieds that use AR KK704 tires and/or Hoosier G60s and USMTS/USRA type rules, let me know and we'll add them. Post here or email [email protected]
