Only 20 cars entered. Not even a decade ago we would get 20 cars from
each series

I think that one of the biggest contributors to the lack of entries is
the lack of Ford presence across most racing series. To have only 4
Fords (with one likely getting no support) in a combined K&N series race
to me is problematic.

Taking it a step further, in the ARCA race this weekend there are 6
Fords, but 3 are back marker teams with likely no factory support. The
only Fords in the truck race this weekend are the 4 Thorson trucks.
There are only 3 Fords in the Xfinity race this weekend (SHR and Penske).

Ford is showing very little interest in investing in racing outside of
Cup, and that to me is one of the biggest factors in the smaller fields.
I may be in the minority on this, but I would welcome any new
manufacture that wants to join the series if it means they'll enter 3
more competitive cars per series, since that's all it would take to
match Fords racing contributions right now.

@3 I totally agree Ford's participation in stock car racing is very
disappointing they don't even fully support Go Fas Racing cup program. 3
xfinity teams and just basically ThorSport Trucks is pretty bad as much
as people hate Toyota at least their willingness to participate and
develop young drivers is very respectable. I would definitely welcome
Honda, Hyundai or whatever manufacturers that are still interested in
competitive stock car racing Ford clearly doesn't.

No. 38 was a Chevrolet as we clearly can see here:
https://twitter.com/NASCARHomeTrack/status/1154892830743171072 so only 3
Fords were in the race

And Taylor Canfield drove No. 35 instead of No. 36 as we can see here:

Looks like Sam Mayer topped Ty Gibbs in a reversal of the ARCA Gateway
finish a few weeks ago, congrats to Mayer. Gibbs getting second, yet
again!, has to hurt. At least he seems to be taking it pretty well,
probably helps when your last name is Gibbs and he surely has many wins
to come down the line.

Oh my God it has nothing to do with lack of any manufacturer or any of
that. Racing is too damned expensive now! The greedy parts manufacturers
and tire suppliers are killing this sport from the top levels down to
Podunk Speedway in East Bumscrew Nebraska! And the car owners are too
damned lazy to go find the sponsorship required (not that any company is
interested in putting their name on the side of a car that's going to be
seen by a few dozen people tops), and require rich-kid drivers whose
fathers own luxury home construction companies to bring the money. And
no, NASCAR is not going to fix it next year when they "align the rules
with ARCA" or whatever bullcrap gets spun around here defending what's
going on. The sport is dying, and in many of your lifetimes will be
dead. I hope I'm dead because I don't want to hear the whining from you
clowns that it's no longer around, and you don't understand what
happened. Peace out.

@7 Explain Daniel Suarez then. A guy from small town Mexico who, with
his family, built a go-kart in his dad's auto body and made the drive
(not flight, drive) to Las Vegas to compete in a big race, where he did
well enough to get some notice.

So does Kraus, Deegan and others also earn points in both series?

Josh Fanopoulos was racing for championship points in both series, so
his result also should be shown in the East side (now it's only show in
the West)

Dave Burns and Brandon McReynolds were the commentators. Dillon Welch
was the sole pit road reporter.

Tanner Gray was running for championship points in both series so his
finish result also should be shown in the West (now it's only show in
the East)
