He was Much faster than their regular driver, who has struggled all year trying to figure out the Raceworks Chassis.

Time Trials Vs. Heat Races... Why Not both ??

A subject that just will not go away is the debate over Time Trials or heat races. I personally prefer Heat Races, as the sport is called "racing' not "time trialing". But many fans feel Time Trials seperate the Whelen tour from the others.

Perhaps the "hottest" gossip subject of the season thus far, has NASCAR dictating that NO TOUR DRIVERS SHALL COMPETE IN EVENTS OUTSIDE THE NASCAR WHELEN MODIFIED TOUR.

Should modified guys get sent home so cup guys can play?
(Preview)
While it's great for promoting the tour, think of how great the teams going home think it is. The two NHIS shows are one of if not the biggest tour shows of the year for modified teams and drivers.
Bushwacking is one thing, Modified tour stealing is a whole other deal.
Opinion?
