Larry Mac made reference to this bonus last night and brought up a point I had not considered. Assuming his statement was correct.
The leader bonus is awarded to the winner at each race, provided he is also the WC points leader. If uncollected, $10,000 is added to the total nad the prize moves on to the next event. Currently the total is $140,000. If Sterling wins tomorrows race he collects the money obviously. Larry's comment was that JJ, who was on the show, could win the money as well.
So if this is true then MM, JJ, JG, TS, and RW all have a shot. Given the right circumstances any of these drivers could win the race today and gain enough points on Sterling to be the points leader.
Anyone know for sure if the winner must be points leader prior to the race?? I had always assumed that to be the case, but it was entirely an assumption and we all know what happens when we assume.
