Very soon the executives at NASCAR will begin the process of reviewing the rule book and making changes for the 2008 racing season. I hereby offer a plea for one big change: Please eliminate the Past Champions Provisional!

How the lineup for NASCAR racing events is determined has changed every year for the past nine seasons. Back in 1989 Richard Petty missed the spring race at Richmond and the fans went crazy.

In my opinion the sanctioning body should finish every race under the green flag if humanly possible. If it takes two attempts at a GWC finish, so be it. If it takes three, four, or five, that's the way it is…
