I know a few people have stated in the Roy Hill and Kurt Busch instances, that neither event featured a full field, so no one got bumped and shouldn't be that big of a deal. I understand that...the more cars, the better, and even possibly some extra exposure, as in the Kurt Busch case.. I think the resentment comes from the fact that a "name" person can get entry without A grade point (let alone the required number) and regular people can not. I haven't raced Stock since November of 2006. If I had tried to enter Atlanta on Monday, do you think I, without any grade points since the '06 Dutch Classic, would have been allowed in? I bet good money that I would not have been. I think Dan Fletcher wrote on here a few weeks ago that he tried to enter Virginia one year, being a former World Champ, AND defending event Champ, and was denied entry. I think THAT is the issue, the double standard shown towards other celebrities and not towards our own racers.
