In the interest of fair reporting, 40 cars with 1st AND 2nd Round buybacks plus a mulligan is still an 8-round race. Not many tracks offer mulligans (thankfully), and most tracks use either 1st "or" 2nd round buybacks or 1st round only.

Bracket events that utilize the Re-Entry style of buybacks (1st Rnd only), where buybacks race each other in a separate round, with only winners advancing to Round 2, make it so everyone has to win the same amount of rounds to win the race. Generally speaking, with this format, there has to be around 190+ cars to make it a 9-round race.

All that being said, I agree: No buybacks for S/SS racing.
