The finale is never an invitational. Can you imagine out of town cars deciding the final race outcome? Barrie also has 2 Nascar races this year and 3 invitationals that just might be some big payouts. I agree the trucks where great but there not racing outside their track this year. Alot of drivers wanted twin races this year so they would have a better points spread instead of basinf the points on long races, also long races are tough on equiptment.

No last year the 500 was an invitational.....in year past it was a double header....with qualifying and that on Saturday and Features on Sunday, except for Late Models as they ran there last points night on the Saturdays. In most years past the championship night was the weekend previous to the 500....and If I remember correctly Saubles Dan Wright won the Thunder Car Feature at last years 500 and Todd Davenport was 3rd. Chris Morrow finished 7th as the top visiting driver in LLM, and Todd Musker finished 2nd in the 4 Cylinders......Invitational i think it was.

If i remember correctly....saturday was a points night for all of us and then Sunday was the invitational..but i could be wrong...
