I agree with the idea of having to race a min # of div races that would help with car counts at divisionals .one question i have is what happens if someone wins more than 1 national and finishes in the top 3 in the div ,will this be all open spots in the 33 car race in rockingham since you can only qulify once.

Yes, those spots will be open/byes

I can see that as being a downfall.

I may be wrong, but I don't think they will be byes, just less spots on the ladder. I think the ladder will be made up according to the number of cars in the race( I think). Also, all division champs have a first round bye.

That would make more sense. It's kinda vague they way it reads in the "open letter"
