We talked to a recent USAC champion at Terre Haute and the Lil' 500/Night Before the 500 midget race conflict was brought up... Something was said about the promoters getting together and figuring something out about the conflict. He said he'd love to do the 500. He also told us, "I know where I'd be if I was a fan". :respect:
My question is... There's no conflict with the National Midgets and the Midget 400. As a matter of fact, the Nat'l Midgets are in Indy the night before the 400 Qualifying on the 24th. How many "big dogs" will show, if any? :checkered:
