In the past, I recall hearing something about the following: Must run Thursday and Friday to gain points to be eligible to lock in a position spot for the Main Feature on Saturday, according to the highest point runners on the two previous nights. Please refresh my memory if it is the Lo race or the Clash or State.
About 3 years ago, the Mag started these 3 night deals. There was the Governor's Cup, Cotton Pickin', and other names. In one of these 3 night deals, I remember a driver who did not make it in the first two features (Thur and Fri) races, only could enter the Saturday Night last chance race, which it was a bad deal and the chance of getting in was slim to none, and it was not 3 fully different races. It forced the big names to race all three nights, instead of sneaking in on Saturday Night, timing good, and get up front dodging the 2 low paying features the 2 nights before, which the big name hate to race for that small amount of winning. The top dogs are not showing up like they once did, and the Mag did this to spread out the payouts to lesser cars. No top dog will show with this type of platform if other one time large payout races are running also on Saturday Night.
North Alabama, this weekend is 3 complete shows sanctioned by both Lucas and CCSDS. I think you are referring to the Cotton Pickin’ but I could be wrong.
I'm glad Saturday is only 60 laps. Remember last year the track rubbered up after 30 laps and they rode around single file on the bottom for the last 70 laps.
But when it does, I usually catch cat naps; sometimes it becomes the most boring follow the leader race if no cautions and interesting restarts. The big flat black ice track is different, but I would like to see them change it to like the Bullring, red clay and banked, more banked the better, they would be flying. During intermission, Stokes will scrape off the top and change up things, making Drivers re-guess, interesting for sure.
