    I wish their was some way they could push this date a little deeper into April or even May. The tracks here in the Midwest take a beating with all the Spring rains. Not really your normal Farmer City surface as far as the ruts and such.
    10 WoO races and B1 Brent Larson has used 8 provisionals and 99 Boom Briggs has used 7 provisionals.

    I will say it again, it is time to limit the amount of provisionals drivers get per year. It's alright if the organization wants to pay them fuel mileage for running the full tour but c'mon, using this amount of provisionals is ridiculous especially for the amount of races run.

      It is totally unbelievable that anyone who watches this video can put any blame on Pierce unless you just don't like him. This wasn't even a racing deal, all on James. He clearly comes down on Pierce and looses it. I'd even give James the doubt that he thought he wasn't as close to o Pierce as he was and that's even a stretch! Fake news if you blame Pierce!

        Sad state of affairs in racing allowing guys that many provisionals. How about limiting them to one every two races. Lol

          Exactly. Been preaching it for years but I doubt they ever change. If not for those provisionals, they would only have about 8 to 10 guys run the tour. Guys like Larson and Briggs wouldn't dream of following it.

          Their definitely needs to be a cap on them. Not sure the number.

            It’s a double edged sword with provisionals.

                speaking on provisionals. At least briggs and Larson have some decent showings here and there and are capable of winning regionally.. what I don't understand is why guys like Spencer follow it or are given provisionals.. Not even competitive locally. just about spins out every time on the track. hot laps, heat race, feature you name it.

                        When it comes to provisionals....try to look at it like this...fans travel miles and miles and spend lots of hard earned money to go to a race to see their favorite driver...let's just say that driver doesn't get in....not talking about back markers....I'm talking about drivers who put butts in the seats....the butts that spend money...drivers like pierce....bloomer...Davenport...shepp....etc etc...I see two sides....as a fan...I say screw it...you didn't race your way in...tuff luck...better luck next time....but as a promoter...I want to make sure the top drivers that people are traveling to see get in the show...and not to short the smaller local teams...I think the track promoter should be able to put one of his regulars in....its good for business
