While I had hoped for a few more cars at Terre Haute, I can honestly say I wasn't surprised. It is late in the season and it was a Friday evening race, both of which can limit a racer's ability to get to a track. In recent times, except for the Indiana Sprint Week race, the entries at Terre Haute have been in the mid 20's. The Tony Hulman Classic in May had 23 entries, and the Hurtubise race last year had (I think) 24 or 25 entries.
What I was pleased to see was the improved track prep by the THAT crew. The track was MUCH better than during Sprint Week!
