Boo, the problem I have with the buttons and 2 steps is that it makes a larger gap between the faster cars and slower cars on the competitive side of adjustability on RT`s....and true,,,same drivers will probably win and thats ok,,,rite now,,more shots on the tree is so important at the national level or any level,,,and stock has become a pro tree race,,,, In all other motorsports, rules are put in place to keep things on a level playing field and Ihra/Nhra has overlooked this issue for a while in stock

as far as Richardson or any other racer, as far as the 50k ,,,,the purse was paid,,,what drivers tend to do with there share isnt part of the program,,,,anyone of the final 8 could have said "no" and that would have been done,,,they chose to make it profitable for the final 8,,,,which is something you dont see in stock,,,,everyone looses that isnt in the finals,,,and Ive been to a few that even the R-ups just got even for the weekend...there was one round of buybacks and thats it

I may be wrong,, unless he worked a deal in the finals with luke,,,but I thought it was 30k to the winner,,,,Im rather sure him and luke are good friends so they might have worked a deal in the finals....I also do know for a FACT that a few had gotten entrys and when it was determined that under no circumstance would buttons be allowed AND tech was going to be tough,,,either sold or got refunds,,,,maybe a scheduling conflict or who knows,,,but what remains a fact is the best non electronic race in history took place and alot of big names wasnt there.....
