As long as the slow cars hold a steady line, isn't it the responsibility of the leaders to find a way around them?

I don't necessarily mean to single him out, but Eric Perrot was lapped 5 times in the feature. But he doesn't seem to be a moving chicane, nor a spin out artist. As long as those guys in the back aren't erratically walloring right into to the path of the leaders, what's the problem?

And let's be honest, Cummins was lapping quality drivers last night. Donnie Brackett and Aric Gentry are in the Top 5 of MSCS points, and even they fell a lap down to Kyle. Cummins simply opened a wholesale club bulk sized can of premium grade A whoop ass on the field.

Also, it's not like MSCS is in any position to run off any drivers. They don't draw cars in the quantities that USAC does.

Some would say some of the slow pokes should just do a start and park. But why? No one knows what the attrition rate will be when the race starts. Some nights half the field won't finish. Why shouldn't the slow cars be able to stay out, make laps, and get a couple hundred extra bucks for 11th or 12th as opposed to 19th or 20th?

Instead of being negative about slow field fillers, why not possitively offer up suggestions as to how to improve the car count, so a semi will eliminate the off the pace cars before the feature?

And, slightly off topic, but while we're talking car count, the modified contingent should be commended for the number (32) they showed up with.

10-4 on the Whoop-ass, some times you're hot, sometimes your not, you probably won't see him walk backwards to the pay out window either, the slow poke evidently didn't bother anyone, once by, and repeat.
