My 2 cents on this is, it is there right not to race, but the draw is to even out the playing field. The bigger teams can't out money everyone in quals. I do know what the cost is for low budget racers and have had the benifit from the draw and lost from it. But since your there and have paid for getting there why not see what you got? (thats half the battle for the low budget racer.) If they are in the best rides in the country and are the best drivers I don't see where the problem with where you start is (Damion man'ed up and raced) . I don't know the Clausen's but for Levi I don't think money is the real issue there. I also know this from some of the teams I've worked for the bigger the team and the exposer the costs is a little easier on them to race. Example- Tire Co, chassis makers, shock, Bars, Oil, Fuel and so on give so much a year free and then at a lower cost after that, they then make it up on the other racers. Racing is risk and reward you can junk it on the first lap or win it on the last but you have to try, just like someone posted about Nifflis if he loaded up because where he started he wouldn't have won.
