Why did Carl Edwards make more money finishing 43rd than a driver
like Robby Gordon who finished 13th?



I thought it had something to do with the associate sponsors, but Robby
seems to run all the stickers on his car
that edwards does?

Carl finished very well in his "duel" race on Thursday, plus the 99 is on
the winner's circle program, while the 7 is not.

If you notice, the payoff is rather flat all the way up to about 10th
position, Jeff Gordon excepted.

among other things. That standing thing alone is more than enough to
give CE plenty more money than RG.

Every week, when a top guy (24, 48, 20, 8, etc.) finishes in the rear
and a no name runs up front, the top guy makes more $$.
