WRONG !! You buy Hoosier tires but you buy them at the track thru Anderson Speedway. This year they said the order your entry comes in is the order you pick out your tires, that’s why there were 38 entries back in January. 1 left front…$270.35, 3 right front $290.55, 3 left rear $297.97, 3 right rears $321.96. Add on a spare left front at $270.35 and you have $3272.14 just for race day. This doesn’t include the tires you need for the Wednesday practice day and most teams rent the track to test before Little 500 week.

I wasn't going to banter with him, But it's pretty clear you use three SETS (Everything but the LF in the race itself) and most practice both Wed's and Fri.
Even with my limited 8 years of watching, both in person or streamed, It's a lot harder to make the race than it was just 8 years ago.
