Correct on your points. One other thing, the waiver is also gone.

Right. You mean the old "win and you're in" from the regular season, don't you?

---

Correct win and in is over. Also is the waiver if a driver misses a race, ( suspension and or a Larson situation like Indy ).

---

Ahhhhhh - now I get what you meant . That might become a deterrent for trying to run the "double"... I always felt like that was "good" publicity for NASCAR, but what do I know.

I liked the double as well.

I always wished that Jeff Gordon would have tried to run Indy at least once.

Surprised that Jeff never did try the double. But if memory served, hasn't Rick only just in the last few years allow his drivers to compete in other forms of racing? I know that's one of the main reasons that Larson is over there, Jeff had to change Rick's mind about racing outside of NASCAR. And to glass, agree about Tony, shame that him and Gene couldn't work out.
