3 drivers pull off in 41 laps for rear end. WTF

Actually it was 31 laps and it was just time to bring their rear ends
off the track !

I think rear end may be code for "it broke, but it ain't the engine that
did." ;)

This has to be the most pitiful series every. How with 8 cars every race
for the past two years and there as never had a race where every car
finish.

Seriously, you hate the series because every car isn't finishing the
race on a regular basis?

I don't actually think the proportion of DNF's is all that different
than other series, but the small field makes each DNF look worse, if
that makes any sense. The same percentage of DNF's for this race in Cup
would mean that 27 cars finished. A bit fewer than normal, but not unusual.

Kingsport Speedway is in the middle part of Tennessee, and is the
longest distance away from the USAR teams bases in North Carolina. So
the races here this season were the most likely to have the smallest
fields and highest DNF's, just because of the expenses incurred for travel.

Sorry...the distance excuse doesn't add up.

Charlotte to Kingsport = 215 miles (13 cars in May and 11 in Aug)
Charlotte to Dillon = 115 miles (11 cars)
Charlotte to Radford = 155 miles (16 cars)
Charlotte to Myrtle Beach = 175 miles (13 cars)
Charlotte to Montgomery = 405 miles (15 cars)
Charlotte to Wiliamston, SC = 120 miles (10 cars)

If you really want to know why the car counts are so low, just look at
the prize money. These guys can drive at the local tracks and make good
money, why spend a lot to travel and finish 5th place, run all the laps
and make only 1600 dollars. That's barely enough to pay tire bills.
These guys run hard and even with the small car counts the racing is
pretty good.

I work for Orange County Speedway, site of the Procup race on September
14. We're looking forward to having these guys race with us. We already
have 17 cars pre-registered according to a member of the track media
team. We saw a great race with these cars last October with about half
that many entries. Hopefully most or all of these cars will be on hand.
