My son Matt is tied for 5th place at Summit Motorsports Park

That Wes Buckley guy right behind your son is a heck of a racer. Used to see him at 131 once in a while. He has a Camaro now I believe, used to have either a Monte or a Malibu, forget which, been a while
I have seen it both ways .. at my local track the buybacks run each other and the winner goes to the second round and that person gets 100 points only if they win the eliminator ... no points for round wins after first round loss. Other tracks I have seen buybacks got right into the second round. Last year I was at a Mopar race and second round had just as many cars as first round , I would have had the bye second round but everybody that lost first round bought back and the car count was even for second round
