Back when we were bracket racing every weekend, many of the tracks would occasionally bring in a match race of some sort, between 2 mostly unknown cars.

And even worse, sometimes it would be a jet car, making exhibition runs. Mostly just makin lots of noise & shaking the ground.

I suppose these things were done to try to get a few more paying spectators in the gate. We figured that there were seldom, if ever enuff extra spectators to pay for the deal. We thought the tracks should just increase the payouts, to bring in more racers.

I suppose many of the track owners finally realized that, since there are now LOTS of high dollar bracket races, pulling LOTS of cars.
