At most of the top heavy big money shows that I have seen this has happened at. Do I like it ...No.....I think drivers that park it are short changing their fans, but it wil still happen. Not the top dogs, but the underfunded teams do this.

Start and park, NASCAR ways,Different format. Paragon is running ..... who gives a damn about all of that. This ain't a Monday morning quarterback session. All I know that this is going to be one hell of a show with the best sprint car drivers, teams, and fans any where. Kokomo speedway is one of the best tracks around and is trying to build an awesome race for years to come. So for me I am ready to party with friends and hopefully meet some new ones while drinking a beer (or coke) and watching some awesome racing.

I dunno...$1000 to start vs $500 to start sure sounds better to me...but I never really was very good at math...

With regards to start n parks - it will be more along the lines of what an earlier poster said. If you were lucky enough to transfer in on a shaky motor or sketchy equipment and you sense anything out of the ordinary or you get lapped - or you just know you're not going to make the top 10 after a couple laps or so you'll see some pull in because the $175 difference isn't even enough to pay for the extra tire you may burn off. It would be subtle - we see it on regular $10k shows all the time - you just probably aren't noticing it because it isn't as obvious as NASCAR.
It is just plain eerie to read the first line of this post, which was written on Wednesday, given what happened to Robert on Saturday. The dirty moves obviously weren't limited to the races before Saturday's "A" feature.
