I could be wrong, but I don’t think Montpelier can handle the parking that ISW would bring and second, would think they need bigger grandstands as well. Again, I could be wrong.

Something else to consider, when you get an ISW race, you can’t schedule any sprint race against any ISW race. There’s a lot of cars that don’t run that full week that would rather run a local show one or both of those weekends.

As for car count, I think it was pretty healthy this year at most tracks. You have to remember, only about 15 teams have a national budget and it’s their full time gig. Smaller local teams have to pick and choose their nights and Haubstadt is a special animal. It doesn’t make sense for a number of teams in central IN to drive 3 1/2 hours each way at a track you have to run at quite a bit to get good at. They could move it to the first night and it wouldn’t improve car count much imo
