Borrowing from an article on the MacKinnon/Kourafas team's 1987 title:
Joey Kourafas and the #33 team had massive problems at Oxford and
finished last, where Chuck Bown went on to win. The MacKinnon team was
thrashing on the car to go to Rockingham when they received a call from
NASCAR in Daytona.

Apparently, in the lead-up to Rockingham, a rumor had suggested that
Quint Boisvert's team had not filed an entry for the race, assuming that
it would be impossible to overtake Kourafas for the title. The phone
call from Daytona confirmed that rumor: the team HAD filed an entry, but
it was postmarked a day late, so Chuck Bown couldn't score points at
Rockingham. Presumably Kourafas' team stayed home, not having a
race-ready car to go south anyway.

If not for that, there might have been two more points challengers in
the field from the Busch North circle.
