Last night's results have nothing to do with tonight's program. It is a complete new show. The combined points from last night and tonight determine where a driver will start on Saturday.

You guys are correct on the provisional points. If you use a provisional, you get your USAC National and CRA season long points, but you do not receive Oval Nationals points. Reason being: A driver could finish 20th (20th as an example) in the B main or the C, then take a provisional and earn points in the A main while the drivers who beat him in those races would not be able to earn main event points. That would not be fair.
