Even just a slightly increased purse that night would draw the cars and the fans, no doubt. What was different about '09 from '05 in regards to how many races leading up to that? It was still coming at the end of Sprintweek, when teams were tired and so were fans. This year, the night before at Haubstadt only drew 30 cars or so.
I guess those of us who like Sunday night racing will have to look elsewhere that night, but oh what a cap to a great week it would be if we had another great night at Kokomo...
