ProTree Posted July 16, 2004 Report Share Posted July 16, 2004 something interesting to think about-joe ruttman has been in 6 cup races this year-he has earned $342,543-he's completed only 37 laps total in these 6 races-a little over 6 laps a race-comes to an avg. of $57,090.50 per race-or $9,257.92 per lap-and he's probably still running the same tires he started the year with-guess a field filler can make some $$$-about 12 more races should put him over a million for the year- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NeilTPS Posted July 17, 2004 Report Share Posted July 17, 2004 Last February I read or heard that Joe's deal is a flat $5,000 per race. The remaining purse money goes to the car owner. His name escapes me. Joe Ruttman is a really good guy. He has been a guest in my home when USAC stock cars ran at TWS. At this late point of his professional racing career, I'm glad to see Joe managing to continue some driving and making income from racing.
