Tire rules and trying to be sure they get a good amount of cars in the pits. While yes a Jake, Josh and maybe a few others have a good chance of beating the big money guys that run MSCS. Some that would not would decide to just stay home feeling as thought they are wasting money and getting little in return. If your going to go home with $50 after runnning a B main(assuming that is what MSCS pays as show up money) and running your butt off it make since to stay home. So as a promoter he is trying to take care of his bread and butter regulars while also giving some that want to play with the big dogs the chance to get off the porch and play. JMO For me Fridays are hard and if it were just and MSCS show I would choice to stay home but will choose to run the Paragon portion of the show because it make since finacially. I may kick myself if the MSCS portion get a low car count but that is what makes this a little entertaining as well we have to choose before we really know the car counts. Much like Smackdown at Kokomo with USAC and BOSS. (See someone else does do this based on type of drivers/team budgets)

As far as points, while it would be cool to win a points championship but if it's not paying you extra money at the end of the year it really doesn't matter because it won't get you a cup of coffee at Denny's. Go race and race to win and screw points there is too big of a deal made about point. JMO
