While I fully appreciate many of the other comments that have been made, I do need to correct this one. Bill Miller's statements were completely accurate. Well before Will and the BEPs were even a factor in the 2011 Championship planning, the plan was to have two of the division fields in the pits area. I am absolutely certain about this, I was there when the plans were being discussed. There are many things that can be learned from the last two years of Championship events, and the full competition seasons. However, this is not an item that needs to be added to the list.
