More sprint cars than any night of the Kokomo Smackdown.  |
That was my first thought when I saw the car count too, Bill. I’ll never question when/where a team runs, I don’t pay the bills. However, sometimes I don’t understand what goes into the decision of when to run.
The Smackdown was a perfect example. The “lower buck” team doesn’t have a huge shot to win it, I get that. However, there was something to shoot for by making the feature that paid 1K to start (with bonus potential too). A lot of “big money” shows only pay big money near the top and it drops off big from there. I understand why the “lower buck” teams stay away from those events. I thought the Smackdown played to the “big” and “small” team so I thought the car count would be a little higher. Again, I don’t pay the bills….and not a *****...just don’t understand why car counts are what they are sometimes.
