To many people get carried away with numbers. We went to Lawrenceburg last night and they had 18 sprint cars. They put on a decent show and I was well pleased with the results. With 5 tracks running special shows for sprint cars last night, you are sure to have some low car counts. Throw in weather, USAC at Belleville, some cars out due to needing major repairs, etc and this is how it turns out.

I am sure that a lot has to do with how far away the race is to a teams home base. Drivers also prefer certain tracks and that also comes into play. We are truly spoiled to have so many great options on a Saturday night. We could be forced to watch school bus figure 8 or trailor races.
