Who is running the whole tour?
Don't think anybody knows. It's going to depend on who is running well enough to make money, if guys are behind in points, they're going to jump off to run North/South, Silver Dollar, and USA Nats. If someone like Pierce, Babb, or Shirley are winning it's going to be hard to jump off tour and forfeit the 25k. Just my opinion, some will say otherwise.
There is a chance to win $65K at I-80, $72K at Florence, and $56K at Cedar Lake. I can't imagine Pierce, Babb, Feger and Heckenast giving up on that kind of money to run the entire Summer Nationals.....?
Key word, chance.Quote:

Indeed. Pierce runs good at all 3 of those events as well. We will see.
No guarantee on the points either no matter how big the points lead is. Any parts failures and mishaps with lap cars or broke down hauler. And depends on who wants to wait til next year to get the points fund $ or if they need the $ right away. From what i am seeing Babb doesnt look like to be running it by his schedule.
You have to play percentages, what's more likely to happen? If you're down to the last two weeks with a big lead in points, it's going to be hard to just quit going summer nats racing.Quote:

Same thing can be said for the SN Point Fund, only 1 person wins $25K. Last year 2nd paid $10K and 3rd was $7K.Quote:

Shirley could be the favorite but he always lacks help and can't keep help. Pierce sure could but I don't see him missing the big $ plus can he keep the cars together. like few days ago posted broke motor in regular car went to back up an broke axle. that's 3 motors in a month time frame. not sure if heckenest if hes running it or not. I'd like to see him pull it off.
But with that 25k, how much wear and tear are you putting on your stuff?Quote:

I was curious if the current health risks or possible travel restrictions played a factor into his coming or not?
There is still a travel ban I believe.Quote:

He ran the tour last year (at least part of it).Quote:

I'm guessing they're probably going to be around the top 3
