I may be wrong (not unusual) but I doubt the IN tracks running against Husets will have much impact on the car count at Husets. The one team that I suspect may opt to stay in IN and race MSCS that might have gone out west is the KO Motorsports team. I don’t know that they aren’t going, but with Chase Stockon leading MSCS points and being 7th in USAC points and JMac 11th in USAC points, it wouldn’t surprise me if they stay and race in IN.

While I applaud Matt Wood for taking a risk and attempting to further midget and non-wing sprint racing, I fear this event faces an uphill struggle again this year due to fuel costs and overall inflation. With Husets located approx. 750 miles from Indianapolis, teams are likely facing a $1200-1500 fuel bill for the round trip. Even with the recently released modified payout (which I think is a good thing!) for most teams this is a going to be a very expensive, money losing weekend.
