I wouldn't count anyone out. Luck rolls strange and if you look at past years it isn't about the most wins, It's about the least DNF's.
Two years ago Bacon had two or three incidents that most wouldn't have been able to continue racing that night. One was at Warsaw indiana, One at THAT and one at Burg. I think he podiumed a couple of em and just missed the other.
Anyway, Strong, Very strong contingent. Axom had a darn fine year for a rookie last year. Gonna be a contender every night now. Moles, I would not put a championship out of his reach as long as he limits the mistakes. Ballou needs to qualify better. But I'd never count him out in a race. Don't think Hard Charger gets ya any points other than what the finish pays.
Hope more will run more USAC shows, I mean last pays more than fourth or fifth at most reg shows and they do have great insurance for members.
As always, THE BEAST man/ woman will win
