There was supposed to be a 20 lap C-main that should have featured 16 cars (if you take into account 49 cars started Friday nights show) and six transfers. Through flips & blown engines on Friday and a few mechanical ills in hot laps on Saturday, only six cars were going to start that C main and they were all going to transfer so it was scrubbed. Had that race been run with 16 cars, track would not have been as tacky. The track was prepaired with that C main taken into account. Also, the winds on Saturday afternoon blew harder than they had all week. When it blew on practice night on Wednesday and the Thursday preliminary, it blew all night. Was supposed to continue blowing all Saturday night, so that was also taken into account when the track was prepared on Saturday and more water than usual was put on. However, the wind completely laid down early.

Only car that pulled out was having a terrible weekend and his teammate's car was wrecked (not sure if they had a backup for the teammate) in the B main on Saturday.
