That was the point that the original poster was trying to make. Given the fact that the pay difference from 6th to 22nd is not that much, there is not a lot of incentive to race for those positions. The risk/reward balance is upside down.
Do I hope it happens? No. Do I hope that this race grows into a huge success? yes. Do I hope that it becomes an annual race? yes. If there is a caution on lap 5, do I expect a couple of cars at the back gracefully pull it into the pits? yes. Do I think any less of the drivers that do that? no
