You bust your @ss to qualify #1 and then lose a coin flip and invert the top 5, i dont know about that one. I guess another part of luck being part of racing.

About as true to racing as having wild cards in a money card game.

Did someone new take over this year. Everything seems a little different in the series this year. It's great racing there's no need to go all WWF.

Almost as bad as their idiotic "Wheel of Inversion" that they used at Charlotte 2 (?) yrs ago. It's a sign they've jumped the shark. Number of entrants is way down, not getting full TV airtime. They're done. I'd be really surprised if it's around in a couple years.

I forgot to mention that the new format of the tv program is really bad as well. Speed can not even give their own series a decent time slot or program.

This is the most agreement I've ever seen in this forum..........


And I agree! It's a disgrace to racing. It was always a sandbag series, and now you add this and people are going to sandbag qualy, by doing sections of the track hard to get an idea of where they could slot in and then waiting till the last laps to either get to pole or shoot for 4th or 5th.

How about stop halfway and invert the whole field and make them race in reverse. That would be cool too.
