With all due respect. The wing cars qualified and the fastest transfers ran the dash and started per finishing position of that. So technically the fastest were up front to begin with.

Why I much preffer the USAC invert system and even Boss. Most Boss Events try to limit heats to 8 cars or so. give ten laps and transfer the top 4 or three based on car count and number of heats. They also usually give enough consis to keep it under 15 for more chance of being able to transfer.

Nothing perfect but I don't like systems that don't promote passing. Rico blew in his heat. transfered in his consi and came from the back of the A to the top five. Pretty damn impressive.

It's hard to compare when the formats aren't the same. Blaney passed cars in the heat, he passed cars in the dash and was rewarded with a good starting position. If Blaney, Kehmanah, Sheldon, Rico, etc start in the back they pass people. The issue is they don't often start in the back.

Did not pass anyone in the heat but did go from tenth to third in the dash and was the second fastest qualifier.

I seen that & it's always that way in the feature. The other thing is they start the fast guys up front & then on top of that the top 6 rows were lined up from the dash so they are essentially finishing where they start.

Different formats. When Boss only takes 3 & you have 4 good guys somebody has to run the B.

Keep in mind too, the BOSS race almost went caution free so all these guys doing all this passing with almost NO help from cautions. The caution was for debris of all things!

Schuerenberg from 19th to 4th (+15), Brandon Whited from 23rd to 11th (+12), Bryan Clauson from 13th to 2nd (+11), Chad Boespflug from 10th to 3rd (+7) and Scotty Weir from 12th to 5th (+7).

In the B, Dickie Gaines from 17th to 6th (+11) in 12 laps.

The heat races provided tons of passing as well with Clauson from 9th to 3rd to transfer, Ballou from the back to win, Bill Rose from 6th to 3rd to transfer, Logan Jarrett from 8th to 2nd to make the redraw, and Jarret Andretti 7th to 3rd to transfer.
