Nate you have to consider that almost every time they run half miles there is a smaller car count, especially the long distance races like Belleville and Syracuse. If you consider the car counts we have built on almost every single race.
Indy - 24 in 2013, 26 in 2014
Terre Haute - no race in 2013, 21 in 2014
Springfield - 20 in 2013, 25 in 2014
DuQuoin - 15 in 2013, 23 in 2014
Belleville - 13 in 2013, 15 in 2014
Eldora - 20 in 2013, 20 in 2014
Syracuse - no race in 2013, 15 in 2014
Thing is you have to consider what Andy has done for the series and he has gained back the faith of so many teams and built new relationships with others. I wholeheartedly believe we will continue to see the car counts grow and this year may be the most drastic growth we have seen yet because the hype is very high. The only place i worry about car counts is Belleville because it is such a long drive for most teams, to a half mile (versus a mile), and seems to be hard on motors.
