Wouldn't hurt car counts, not complicated, only would cost the tracks or nhra a few bucks extra for paying a loser one round later and would give a racer who just came out in the wrong end of a good race another shot. More of a earn back than a buy back......

Devil's advocate: Best losing package racer gets inserted back into the ladder to face a heads-up opponent that he's got covered. Explain to the guy that's won a number of rounds that he's got a heads-up race that he probably won't win... against somebody that just lost!
