I'm guessing Mitch McConnell & Mitt Romney are writing the rules... A better approach in my book would be to have qualifying events leading up to the Bristol deal, like the original Hav A Tampa shootout. Take top 6 finishers(or however many) from different events around the country as qualifiers, then at least a man can race his way to it, instead of cronyism, "I like you, but I don't like you." The only issue that comes to mind was the first year with breaking lite weight wheels, I remember because Duralite ran an adv after with the plug, "The only wheel to survive Bristol". I abhor Elitism and Cronyism, so I won't be supporting this, I think America has had its fill with special treatment, havent you? Another idea would simply put in a performance specification for qualifying, you have to be within so many percent of the pole speed or you can't race, but no, we don't need a doorman deciding who can enter and who can't.
