The way I understand it is that if you lose in the first round,you can pay the "re-entry" fee and you essentially race ANOTHER first round loser.IF you win that round,you are back into the second round like everybody that won the first round.

This is a better system than automatically buying back into the second round without ever winning a round like some tracks have done it.

I understand why this is done to help with the purse,but my math shows that 22 cars paid to re-enter the race.That is $2200 toward the purse.IF 11 cars did not show up at the race at all because they don't like the concept of "re entry",then $2200+ was lost in potential revenue.
