Not to forget two-time USAC Sprint Winner (at Salem of all places!) / USAC midget winner (KY) / 2nd place finisher of the Belleville Nationals Special Ed (who also had numerous other top 5s in basically all the USAC divisions, including the 3 national ones - link below), Chili Bowl alphabet star Santino, and Conor Daly who gave Tulsa and some outdoor midget events a run a time or two.

So, if all goes well, there should be FOUR guys in the field with front engine OW car experience. We should take it for what it is. We can all hope for more, & guys like Larson need to run these cars more than once a year (hope he proves me wrong on raceday, I think he could very well run top 5; but even Tony admitted over 20years ago just getting in for the one race a year, he didn't think he could win it). Either way, it's cool and great to see!
