    MasterSbilt_Racer, I am not sure what points system you mean. I was referring specifically to the fact that a Lucas Oil A-main win is worth 200 points per the 2018 rule book. 2nd is 180, 3rd is 170, 4th is 160 and 5th is 155. I think a win should be worth more like 220 or 230 points to give a guy more incentive to push harder for the win rather than be content with 2nd or 3rd. Seems that would make for more exciting finishes when a guy can make up significant ground on the points leader by winning.

        I mean that one. The 20 point Gap from 1st to second is significant. Imo. When guys win 3 or so in a row, they typically make up over 100 points. That very structure is why Davenport has a decent lead. Everyone is saying he isn't doing anything. But, he has a fair number of wins.

                        It'd be hard to beat that Top 15. The Topless is the only one I wouldn't pick for sure.

                            I think you could add the last race of Eastbay and Volusia to that list. Although neither pays a big purse, they are weeklong events and have a long history. The whos who of dlm are usually there!
