for the Cup race since they didn't get practice before hand. I get just furious each yr when the Cup guys are racing, especially when the X guys are trying to get the points/wins to make the playoffs!! If the Cup guys want to race in X then if they win they can have it but give all the guys below them the points they'd have earned if the Cup guy wasn't in the race. Also don't give them the stage pts because they matter so much for the X guys. Is it fair to the guy who is trying to get that last spot to be in the playoffs to lose it because a Cup guy's position lowered the others point amt? I know Jimmie didn't make the cut but that was because of CUP drivers. Imagine how much of an up roar fans would have been in if an X guy would have been in the race and his position messed with the points and that would have been the reason J was out?? Now, if someone will give me a hand I'll climb down from my soap box.
