Fast 49 takes shot at passing points format on Twitter

[CarolinaDirt]

The uniformed idiocy never ceases to amaze me. He has a Lucas oil points race with passing points next week. He is taking the car to put it on the jig so he has 2 good ones for the Lucas points race. This is a WOO non points race for him.

It's not a take my ball and go home as he has a passing points Lucas race next week.

Go give what he had to say a read before you bash .

"Spinning Wheels" can anyone say this years Dream front row

[zyoung25]

Can someone explain to me how this wouldn't happen in a normal heat? Guys get flat tars and they go to the back of the heat.

Yes, passing points suck for the drivers. It no secret drivers don't like it. But it's not like this can't happen anywhere on a normal weekend.

If it was not for the fans... There would be no Late Model racing... Most fans like the passing points format... I'm sorry that you over drove you're car and put it in the wall. Passing points did not cause you to over drive you're car.(You Did) It seemed like he had no problem with the format @ I-80. If JD has that big of a problem with that format. Then PLEASE do not even show up @ the North South then. Maybe go fishing or something...

Him not showing up might be about the only way any LUCAS guys might catch him in points.

JD needs next weekends points race much more than a non-points race. This wasn't a JD decision. This was a collective team decision.
We all know this, right? Just checking. Lol

Here is something else JD said that explains why they made this decision:

Pay attention..... 18 hour drive wash car truck & trailer take car apart put car on jig fix car put car back together set up car drive 8 hours to get more tires (bc every track has different tire rules) get tires ready drive 4 hours to track be there by Thursday 

He also listed Eldora and FALS as 2 formats who got it right for high profile races.

#FALSuperman you got it right! The team has lots of work to do and i don't blame him for leaving. Passing points su@k.

Jonathan Davenport speaks out against passing points; lack of input in formats

Davenport took to Twitter to express his displeasure with the passing points format and that teams have little say in deciding formats

My reading comprehension is top notch. I read his tweet.

Inmates don't run the asylum.

Why should "the big dogs" get to tell the tracks what kind of system helps them stay at the top ? Doesn't passing points provide a way for some new faces to have a chance they might not have if Davenport and Co. gets to set all the rules. The fans pay big bucks to see these races. They like to see some new people win on occasion---maybe guys that can't buy the most expensive equipment and pit help. I applaud owners who think of ways to keep putting butts in the stands. Empty seats are very unfriendly to drivers---yes, even to Davenport.

I don't care for passing points either. All luck of the draw. Pierce got stuck in 2 difficult heats and the track wasn't as good as usual. I was thinking about going tonight but decided to stay home. Might get ppv though.

So you hate to watch passing? OK then.

Passing points only suck if your favorite driver sucks and can't pass anybody.

He knew the format when he left to go there. Race or don’t go- but don’t leave the track & leave the soveneir trailer there to sale merchandise. I guess he now thinks the top level drivers should have a say in the race formats?? Maybe he should go NASCAR and see how much input he can have there. I didn’t have any respect for Lance Landers before (because of him funding Davenport instead of Jared)- now I don’t respect Davenport either. Must be something in the Batesville water they makes several teams cry!! 🏁🏁

[NormP]

Not surprised he would be against it.

[GEAR_HEAD]

So the fans spending their hard earned money shouldn't get a say? Davenport is now in the same category as Clanton and Moyer. They're all whiners that hate the fans. Every time time they thank the fans it's laughable.
