This seems to come up every year, but this is the way the rule works. If a driver is competing for the USAC National Driver point fund, you cannot run a same series race within the time period or within a certain distance. Please understand that most of us would race 7 nights a week if we could. Heck, Im going to Sun Prairie Sunday after Haubstadt. But if we all showed up to a race in the middle of Sprint Week for 3K to win, why would the Sprint Week promoters pay us more? And what did the race pay for 2nd on back? I doubt it payed 425 to start. Yes, we want bigger paying races but supporting smaller paying races right in the middle of 7 bigger paying races does not help get the purses up.
