    And he's the only reason EPJ gets in every single feature.

    You really think Forrest made a rule just for his sponsored driver? If he did, he's a terrible businessman(which we know he aint)!

    If they limited the amount of provisionals that could be used, the car with LUCAS plastered on the front would be the first to use them up. The car is a loser and it carries the flagship sponsor for the tour. That's not business, that's nepotism.

    Question

    LOL ! That makes sense ? Give a local that drove 10 miles to the track and only brought his immediate family in the stands a prov but not a series regular who just drove 800 miles from the last race and had 200 of his loyal fans follow him here that spent a lot of money in local hotels and businesses the boot ? BTW, The touring driver might have to drive 400 miles overnight to get to the next race. Why would anyone follow any series if there wasn't even any incentive to pay for at least some of his fuel? You would only have 4 drivers that would able to last the whole year if the hadn't hope at all to get in the feature event.

    Well I have to agree. The pc of crap EPJ is wheeling around the track has to have a spot reserved. If you hire EPJ you can have LUCAS across the front and side of your car also. It's a shame because EPJ is one of the good guys out there. Those cars are good for crate racers and that's about it. You can't have a reservation every night and yes it does contradict what I said in a earlier post. I guess because I'd like to see him racing for a win again. Maybe that would make them change something on the car to get some decent lap times in so he isn't in the back of every heat race.

    He did a few Covid shows. That is not the norm. You know it. No one can conduct business like that week after week.

    There was that one guy that tried to finance all of his own shows. It didn’t last long.

    8 last night. On a track that was used up after hot laps. This falls on track prep crew that's for sure, but still 8 provisionals, I think woo was embarrassed by the lack of prep also. Then of course you have to have 604 and 602 late models to s*ck every last drop of water from the surface. That's called money grab from the people running the joint.

    He sure as heck isn't showing up, renting a track, and putting on a show week after week. If he did, he wouldn't owe fans a thing. He would be above criticism. But that's not it at all.

    Tell that to the guy who drove 6 hours and then paid $300 bucks for the team to get in. Busted their asses all night only to get taken out by a guy who shouldn’t even been on the track.

    “Hey sorry about your bad luck and dropping 6 spots in points, unfortunately you are the only full time guy not to make the show. Here’s a $100 and hopefully you can dig out that hole.”

    Don’t insult people that actually race with that tow money bullish!t. You have $40 invested on that night. Teams have 1000s invested to compete significantly less. To be honest, your opinion on provisional means Jack sh!t to most racers.
