Lucas - Please bring back the invert wheel!
A guy ask me Saturday night at TST who I pull for. I told him I like Overton, but I really wanna see anybody 3rd on back win cause I wanna see a pass for the lead. And as fans I believe we should all feel that way. As a fan, I don’t wanna see a front row starter take off, gone, and drive off in to the sunset. Now if I was a driver, car owner, or crew member I’d hate it. But I’m a fan. And if the line drivers make it victory lanes “thank all these fans for coming out and supporting us, we couldn’t do it without you” is true, give us fans what we want and worked fine years ago. The invert wheel. The fast timer still had a 50/50 chance of Starting on the front row of their heat with the wheel. And I’d say the overwhelming majority of the time the racing improved with the faster cars a row back. And if he spun a 1 or a 2, so be it. I’d live with that. If it works for Eldora which is, like it or not, The Standard, it’d work everywhere. .....And by no means is this a shot a Jimmy Owens. I like Owens. He’s on fire and good for him. I’m just a fan that wants action. I think he’d still won at 411 and TST if he’d started 4th. But a pass for the lead would’ve added to the nights.
