NW cut down to 40 car grids for most/all races last year, but with so many teams struggling for money and doing S&P, that's still quite possibly a valid question. After all, some truck races last season came close to being short of a 36-vehicle field, and without start and park teams, Cup races might not have 43 cars on a regular basis. That's a problem in all top 3 divisions of NASCAR right now.
