    Sheppard wins 2 goes to bmain?

    Call it tough luck or lousy fromat. Brandon Sheppard wins 2 feature events at Eldora and ends up starting fifth in heat one of the Saturdays finals. Shep now faces the possibility of missing the World 100 altogether by way of an 8th place finish in his heat. Only a good finish in one of the bmain will put him in the big show. Something isnt right with this format.

    Maybe he should have passed somebody instead of throwing the anchor? I guess that's the American way though, just blame somebody/something else.

      So your gonna tell me that if you raced your a$$ off to get into a big show and they used a sh!tty formatt that you wouldn't try to pull a rabbit out of a hat? If you tell me No I'm gonna tell you exactly what you are full of my friend!!
      If you can't race it or take it to bed! It ain't worth having!

        He won the two mains starting up front. But, couldn't get out of his way in the heat starting a few rows back. I would have thought he would be better. But they missed the set up or something

          He starts up front again in the scramble and takes off? Just having trouble in traffic I guess.

              They are starting 30, I think. Math doesn't add up for a provisional.

                  No he ran the scramble and won. He wouldn't been allowed to run that if he was locked.

                    The two provisionals in 19th an 20th are for fast times i believe?

                      Yet Chris Ferguson ran one fast lap all weekend and gets in the show.

                      Heat line ups are set by "average finish" on Thursday and Friday. Yet there is no provisional best "average finish" not getting in. Instead we get a "fastest time not yet qualified" which went to Devin Moran.

                              I would say that I should have passed people instead of sucking. I don't make excuses for being sub-par. When I played sports in high school and didn't start I blamed myself for not being good enough, it was nobody's fault but mine.
