If sprint cars are ready to go (which they were b/c I was in pits and drivers were strapped in and ready...at least when I made my way there), then push them off. Sorry if the schedule has to be moved, but that's what people are there to see. The undercard fills time, not waste and take away from what people are there to see. Sorry if that's harsh, but that's the way I see it. I hope it continues. I was sitting there thinking...great another B main while the sprint cars are ready to go. I was surprised and very happy about the change.
It's just like when USAC runs with IndyCar on pavement. USAC is going to get bumped (loss of laps) if the schedule was behind or needed changed for whatever reason because IndyCar is the headliner. That's the way racing cards work...and should work IMO. I was happy with how everything was run. Give the fans what they want.
Very well put!!!!!
