More than half of them shouldn’t bother to go.
Yeah I wonder how much pressure the powers that be put on chartered teams to show up. It wouldn’t look good if only 15 teams showed up. Seems like a waste for teams on a tight budget.
I bet it wasn’t pressure. I bet they were ordered to go. Another very stupid gimmick on Nascar’s part. Some teams don’t have enough parts for 3 cars and nascar is making them go to a clown show.
