Just saw on Race Hub that CMS has offered to pay any fines that come as a result of the boys having at it. Anythign to put butts in seat
If they really want the boys to have at it, they should have offered to pay for tore up racecars. Some of these fines are pocket change in relation to the costs of a Cup car and the man hours it takes to produce them.
That said, the winning purse should be incentive enough to want to win this thing. Let's face it, it seems lately that these guys are just riding around during the first 3 segments, then decide to go for broke on the last. Even then, some are still content with just riding it out.
I don't know what the solution is, but imo, something needs to change. Bring back the inversion of the field. Winner of each segment starts in the first two rows for the final segment. The last place car for each segment is eliminated.
I'm just throwing these out there.
Anything to make the beginning segments more exciting.

Forget all this segment crap, I don't know about you guys, but that gets tiresome for me. Let them go 75 laps, that would mean they have to come in for a pit stop. 75 straight laps, you know with 20-25 to go there will be some yellow flags and the racing will be more exciting. I could never understand all this segment stuff, just manufactured crap IMO.
Ticket sales must be really low.

Takes it back to REAL saturday night racing. Heats and a feature.
