True it is somewhat of a neutral track but Say it's Cummins going to Tri State or JG going to Kokomo and that race gives the same points for everyone else, They go, Win as they often do at their best tracks, and come out in the same position.

Like I said, You know a lot more than me what teams want, But teams include car owners and while winning is the game. The series is for a championship.

While USAC is, and I applaud upping payouts and having more higher paying races. There's a huge difference in Kings Royal and Knox Nationals payouts and draw.

Yes, Bacon is one of my favorite drivers and drives for a local team. But I like em all and may the best team win.

I also wish I could get to more USAC shows but in current family health situation. I'll be at Burg sat and Burg Sprint week if conditions allow.

Good luck to everyone!

When these decisions are made, they are all sitting on zero. That’s the only way to do it. Of course those behind in points would love an opportunity for the ones ahead of them to have bad luck, whether caused by track irregularities/format or not. But in the world of objectivity, you do what’s best for the whole and don’t worry about who needs to “make up points.”

The MSCS co-sanctions on the first day of Sprintacular and at Haubstadt in September are also appearance points. Huset’s was last year, as was the Knoxville two-day race when it had some rule differences. All effort is made for uniformity from race-to-race, but sometimes it is the best way to do it for everyone involved.

Enjoy the race. Forget the math for a weekend.
