To quote David Buckner in another thread:
"I kept trying to explain what the car was and how it was classed, but kept getting blank stares, lol. Just hope they say something about it being a AA stocker. I believe rusty hall went to the final 8 as well in his mustang at the phoenix race, so we should have two stockers back to back shows! Hope y'all enjoy, I know we will.

Same reason nobody but us care to watch us. They don't understand what we do, nor care to learn about it. To the casual fan, after the fuel cars run we look slow and boring as hell. Throw in the handicap starts and break outs? Duh!

They leave the stands as soon as the fuel cars finish and before Pro Stock comes up, which is heads up and much faster than 99% of us.

Watch low ten second cars on pinks run, looks like they are just casualy driving down the track. Not fast enough to be exciting on TV.
