The real motive may be to insure ESPN can have a better chance of a live final of fuel cars on schedule. Running the sportsman finals early gives them time to get the track ready for the real show in case someone makes a mess.
I don't race a fuel car so I don't expect a grandstand full of cheering fans anyway, but I think Light put a decent spin on it however.
