    And now he's gotta run a B-main......One major reason why I hate inverts for heat races. There so critical at these Crown Jewels.

    Im ok with 6 or 8 inverts for features. Theres enough laps to get back to the front.

      All he had to do was gain 1 position to make the feature. It's his fault he has to run a consi, not the format's. Chub restarted at the back of the field in his heat and he still transferred.

        His fault???....for being fastest qualifier??.....You gotta look at the quality of drivers in each heat race. Chris had much better quality cars than Chub.

          I personally think that the inverts suck...

                The inverts do suck. Why qualify at all if you are going to penalize the fastest. Then they wind up driving on a slick track and not even make the feature in their heats!!!

                One can try to sandbag but if you don't make the fastest 36 cars, preferably 13th or more) then it can backfire on you very easily. I've seen drivers run a good lap and let off near the finish line on purpose.

                  Chris flat out ran a great track record lap. He is rewarded with a provisional starting, 20th in the World 100 if he doesn't transfer through the heats or B mains. Josh Richards will claim provisional starting spot 19 if he doesn't transfer through the heats / B main.

                    A big hand to Chris Ferguson on now holding the Eldora track record. At least that can't be inverted away from him!

                      I hate the inverts. I really don't understand the logic behind having them. I'm glad they give provisional starting spots to the fast qualifiers at the World, especially since Fergy is guaranteed to make the big show and Richards is already heading home.

                            Being fastest on a track all by yourself proves nothing. The sport is called racing, so prove that you are the best racer by passing somebody. The only people that don't like inverts are the people from the south that are used to crappy formats and freight train racing.

                              If being fast on the track by yourself proves nothing then why do it.
