With the change now official in the MATCO car I'm wondering what everyone thinks of the fact that DSR is apparently more concerned with earning points for next year's Skoal Showdown, than a top ten in Funny Car. Whit would have certainly finished top ten, and the way the car is running right now I could see him in the top five by the end of the year.
There are a number of MATERs that are upset that next year a driver not in the top eight at Indy, would not have a chance of moving up. And here is a VERY good driver that has the chance to do just that, but the team doesn’t seem concerned about it. I’m not saying that the Showdown was THE determining factor in the decision, but I’m sure it was one of the considerations.
And I do believe that for most of the big teams, if you’re not the champ, 2 through 10 doesn’t mean much. Case in point, Ron Capps had an incredible season last year, but his car number is still 28, not 2
