They do not use "sets" 1 left front, 2 right front , 5-6 rears, that will get you close. $2500 to start more than covers the tire bill. A $400-500 to start sprint race on dirt with a $1000 (ave), things that make you go hmmmm?

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.

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.

Well I got a hotel room in Anderson for the night. Calling tomorrow for tickets. Going to the little and big ones this year I guess. And we can thank Kyle Larson for the inspiration. My son said we got to go see him at Indy, and I said well we might as well do both. So here we go

I finished 11th around 2000 in the Capels car, we practiced on the used tires from the Wednesday Night USAC show, put new set on to qualify and ran about 490 laps on the same set. Now the fuel bill was a different story, had a midget tank and had to pit every 100 laps, even had a multi time winners Uncle and his buddy calling the strategy lol. Tony Epperson, Jerry Gordon and Sam was wore out after that one. We ran that race a few times and never planned on changing tires unless we had a flat so start money definitely covered our tire bill. We were not a top 5 car but we did have some speed. I don’t remember very many guys changing tires in the early 2000’s. If I could run one more race it would be that one.
