big cars @ the 4 crown

Typically the 4 crown doesn't get the biggest field, but I was hoping it might improve this year. After improvements with car counts at the mile dirt tracks with a very nice 37 on hand at DuQuoin it would be nice to see 30 at Eldora. I know a lot of folks love them on the miles, but watching them bump the right rear off the fence is truly one of the best sights in racing. I bet the purse isn't what it is on the miles, but it's only a 25 mile race. Like to hear some of you guys thoughts

I've never seen Silver Crowns yet (old fart, but only watching sprints 6 yrs.) Should be interesting...
What I want to know is how they can pull off 3 classes & AllStars in one nite....Time Trials for everyone? do they start early?

Eldora gets cars on the track right after the previous race is done. They run such an efficient program its almost hard to go to the bathroom.

Last year for Sprintacular they had about 130 sprints and it was just race after race for about 3.5 hours straight.
