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.

Good question... way to see the future on the dirty moves! Hope the madman is still just as mad and fun to watch!

Not sure we saw dirty moves to get into the feature. Hard, hard racing for sure. The whole start and park idea was ridiculous from the get go. As always, someone looking to find a negative to a totally positive situation. Drivers were scratching and clawing for every position they could get the entire race. Providing good money for those making the feature seems like a great move, I am sure the car owners loved it. The B main was like a good feature on any other night.
