One additional thing of which you should be made aware. The provisional starters give up last place money. So if we take a provisional and last place pays $500, that amount is deducted from any purse money we win (this way adding provisionals does not increase the cost to the promoter).
If we start 23rd and make it to 11th (which pays $700) we would recieve $200 for all the wear and tear. It doesn't make much sense to take a provisional unless you are running for points.
