The biggest problem wasn't so much having just 14 cars on hand. (And, let's be honest, Bateman and Lawson were so dramatically far off the pace that it was essentially an even dozen, since USAC weren't going to let them stay out there for long.) The biggest farce was the FIVE that actually finished. Kody Swanson got the "hard charger" award despite being the last physically finishing driver. Thankfully, Jarrett Andretti's yellow set the stage for a great finish to salvage a dud of a race.
On a more positive note, you couldn't have asked for a better day weather wise.
