THEY'RE STILL CHANGING THINGS.........


Past Champions Limited To 6 Provisional Berths in Cup: NASCAR announced today an update to the past champion’s provisional rule in the Nextel Cup Series for 2007. Beginning this season, a past champion’s provisional may be used by an eligible driver a maximum of six times over the course of the season. In addition, a team with a past champion eligible driver may only use this provisional a maximum of six times during a season. Previously, there was no limit on usage of the past champion’s provisional over the course of the 36-race season. The provisional gives the eligible driver the 43rd and final starting position in the race field. "As NASCAR seeks to place more emphasis on competition, we have decided the time is right to limit the number of provisionals allowed,” said NASCAR Vice President of Competition Robin Pemberton. “We believe this revision brings the provisional policy in line with the continued growth of the sport.”(NASCAR PR)(1-31-2007)

Jeff Burton....."Here, the speeds just aren't falling off as much as we need 'em to," Burton said. "What they've done is build another super-fast mile-and-a-half racetrack, and on new racetracks [the racing] typically kind of sucks."....Nascar.com

Seems some are complaining and other's don't mind.

Hope the driver of the #6 hauler is going to be ok, that sucks.

They said the change for past Champion's provisional was coming. Sounds fair to me.
