I think people need to start putting how many little 500 they have attended before commenting. This was my 15th little 500 and it was deffinatly one of the best if not the best one I have seen. Quaility of the field was up quite a bit this year. Until the big one, the top 10 were within a half a lap of each other. yes a couple of the wrecks were unfortanate, but that will always happen. Some of you comment that you wish the big teams were there, but i fondly remember the first year that Usac took over, the big teams wrecked themselves out. I really think that was the worse little 5 that I had seen with like only 9 cars takeing the checkard. The other thing is that most of the"top dogs" don't run cars that would last 500 laps. lets not forget about your half nots that ran really well. here is where they started 16. Jacob Wilson, 07, WBR-45.656; 17. Ryan Litt, 7, Litt-45.661; 18. Russ Gamester, 46, GMI-46.616;21. Kenny Biro, 72, Biro-46.762; and with his best run in a sprint car Rex Norris III, 63, Norris-46.842; 25. Rex Norris and Kenny Biro both kept there nose clean and had good races. Norris took a very bad car from wednesday, and made it very competive. They had biro listed as the leader at one point. I know he was in the top 5 for a while. Here is my long winded point, no matter who and what cars are there, there will always be slow lapped cars. Names don't make a race, the race makes the names. last thing if the cars had to qualify within 2 seconds of the leader only 26 cars would have started and you would lose half you fans for next years race.
