Scott, I guess "as a fan" I just don't see why it matters, I mean I go to see a race if they add 2 cars to the back it does nothing to ruin my experience for the night and in fact if it happens to be Damion or Darland or praise be the Modern Day Cowboy, now there is added value to my 10 dollar ticket (15 at Lawrenceburg
) .
As a participant I think there are many more pro's and cons to the provisional scenario but again besides awarding points unless I get to use one it has zero effect on "my" evening of racing.
