Please explain to me why Eddie would do that?

Just because it has been happening, does not mean that we do not care for that activity. I certainly understand the business side of it, but this is not good for the integrity of our sport, regardless of the category.

As someone mentioned, I think the ladder game is all fair....what is not fair is the amount of BS the elite team gave Greg for doing it in Pomona 2 years ago. Yet, to employ the same strategy themselves, they believe they are geniuses....it doesnt work that way.

Let's also remember that the KB racing team had a prime opportunity in 2017 when Greg Anderson raced Bo Butner in the semis to have "Team Orders" and Bo ended up the champ.

It's disappointing but I think we all get it. How many chances do you have to win a championship when your teammate in the other lane is out of the running?

I seem to remember that happening in Comp a few years ago. The driver went 200 something red.. And gave the win to his car owner/boss/sponsor.
