OK, so WoO drivers get a certain number of provisionals they can use. Why use it at Knoxville when there are 61 of the best winged sprint car drivers in the field and not at some bullring when only 30 cars showed up?

I believe there are 6 guys that are out of provisionals until July also.

Cuz they want to log laps in the track to learn how to be fast there.

Same reason 61 cars show up for a season opener. 35 of those cars didn't even plan to make the feature but wanted to be there for some reason.

There is no way a person should be able to take a provisional.   Shouldn't even be in sprint car racing.

The lucky dog garbage in the IRA is also stupid. If they still do it....

Everyone has 2 chances to qualify for the main. If you can't do it through the heat or the B main you shouldn't be on the track for the feature.  Racing is a performance driven sport. Not a well it's ok you can join in with the guys that actually did qualify to start in the proper way.

I don't mind a couple provisionals but 4 is too many. Friday's outlaw race had 1 provisional. Fine. Saturday's race jumped to 4. I like the HL rule max of 2 per race.
