I'll just say that only four of the top fifteen were there last night. But it seems the racing was great.
BACON almost won both. Key word, almost. Hoosier screwed him.

It seems like tire wear would have a lot to do with how hard you run the car early in the race. Now, if all the tires failed on all the cars, then we'd be onto something big.

If you seen a pic of Jacobs tire in victory lane, You'd know how. Bald as can be. bacons just blew a lap before the end.
In a feature that was supposed to be 41 laps, not 30

From what I've read and heard, USAC did the right thing to find out what was really wrong with the tires. Apparently, it wasn't a tire softener issue but sounded more like Hoosier's fault. So kudos to USAC for spending the extra money on a more expensive lab and not suspending 4 of its top teams. As for the 3 teams that quit, 2 of them have never run the full tour and the other hasn't in many years so I question how long they would have stayed on it anyway. I'm thinking a month from now after they get tired of running local $1500 to win shows or traveling three times as far to lose money with xos, they'll be back.

Run vehicles have exceptionally high ability to-weight proportions, with loads of roughly 1,400 pounds (640 kg) (counting the driver) and power results of north of 900 strength (670 kW), which enable them to-weight proportion outperforming that of contemporary F1 vehicles. No doubt its having amazing sitting seats thats are very domfortable for every situation, if you are really interesting & car lovers then you must wanna to know more about then go there.

Hoffmans back Brady Bacon and are fielding a little 500 car for him this year. But as far as national or local racing, The car didn't go to the track for less than 3k to win or for testing. These bigger teams are paying a crew chief. So add that to all th other cost involved and the driver gets 40-50% of the winnings. I don't know how or why they cherry pick local shows other than to get experience.
