Half of the money "awarded" will be added into the team's budget to provide for entry fees and stuff like that.  The driver will keep the other half for either his Late Model, or if he owns another race vehicle in lower rankings (after BGN).  

 

Also if at any given time the team cannot come up with enough to put down onto the entry fee and general maintence for all their race vehicles, then that team will sit out for that week.  However, if the team is a three car team, and can afford entry fee and general maintence for two of their vehicles, then two will be allowed to race but the team owner decides who.

 

If you're a team owner that wants to move people up through the ladder, you must contact the administration with a request to hire a driver.  The administration will then look at how they've done, ask each division official how that driver races on the race track, and if everything falls into place, the "contract" will be sent to the driver.  Then the driver has the option of accepting or denying the contract.  Each contract will cover until the end of the current segment.  After that, the team and driver can work out details on their own, and forward a new contract if one is agreed apon, to the administration.
