Not only the fact that the drivers taking his victory lap and getting his/her applause but it also gives a chance to announce the next races lineup BEFORE the cars are on the track and the noise drowns out the PA.
Honestly, A first time visitor to a track could leave only knowing the WINNER of the features name and not really getting any KNOWLEDGE of who's who? Who's hot and who's not? ECT. Stuff that kinda gets a fan wanting to see what will happen next week actually know a little bit the next time they visit. Id imagine maybe 2 of ten first time visitors ever return and thats probably less than those leaving the sport for whatever reason.
How about having a Table on the fan side of the pit gate where the top five or whoever wanted can come out and sign autographs for a bit with the kids or whoever and invite them to stay till after the races and come sit in the car? Even if they can't stay for another 2-4 features they would still get to congratulate em and meet them.
Chuck, saying the Outlaws really don't have this problem as theres usually only one class running with them, If that. They are always down after the race passing out their team info sheets and signing autographs.
P.S. I would suggest the 50-50 girl become the Trophy Girl but then those section A guys would probably abandon the sport.
