Very low car count. These races already have had small fields in past,
though I wonder if the doubleheader has anything to do with it, because
the teams may not want to travel to both races.

Female drivers make up 27% of the field for both ARCA West races this
weekend.

This is embarrassing.

On the plus side, I guess there's a good chance of a first time winner
or at least some career-best finishes.

27% of the drivers in this race are female. That has to be a NASCAR
series record.

The low car count is pretty simple. These cars are too expensive to
field. The purses are garbage. NASCAR needs to reinvest the NASCAR
Northwest, Southwest, Midwest, and Southeast Tours for Super Late Models.

@6 At least the Midwest has the ARCA Midwest Tour for super late models.
IDK about other regions.

@6 Yeah, that's true but as some others already said, in other races we
had between 14 and 17 cars in the field, probably NASCAR decision to put
a doubleheader in the following day in other track that needs a 6-hour
trip also had a huge impact on the decision of some teams did not show up.

Was this a midday Friday race?

Looks like it was a 3PM local start, so yes
Assumed this was going to be a Friday night show, not a sprint that
started at the same time as the Truck race. By the look of it, I'm not
sure anyone missed too much in this one, unfortunately. Will reserve
complete judgment until I watch the replay but...yeah.

Was there any actual debris either time or was ARCA just wanting to
bunch the field up?

First one saw the cleanup crew picking something up from turn 2, unsure
of what it was. Second one was much more dubious

Actually wound up being a better race than I thought it would be, but
really that's only because my expectations after seeing the results
sheet were as low as you can possibly get

@12 Ah,ok. I was also watching the truck race at the same time so i must
have missed the cleanup crew picking up the debris.
