I am goddamned brilliant. I should get paid to think of these things.

Remember, NASCAR is a business first and a sport second. You can't have just a bunch of random people showing up with their Daytona specials knocking out all the known teams and drivers. If they did what you're suggesting, Daytona would turn into what the Indy 500 race used to be: a yearly run-what-you-brung race to see who's the fastest on that particular day.
Actually, that sounds cool.
