I have heard that USAC has scheduled a midget race at Tri City Speedway in Granite City IL saturday night also? Does anybody know if that true or not? I don't see it on their website, but if so, pretty smart promoting on USAC's behalf to keep some of their top drivers from competing with MSCS huh?
Still the fact that MSCS doesn't qualify makes me wonder if some of the USAC teams, like Hoffmans for example, might not compete anyway do the fact that if your fast in qualifications, and you don't transfer in your heat, the best you could do is start on the tail of the feature if you make it through the B-main. One of the dissadvantages of the MSCS program in my opinion. Just wondering what everybody else thinks????
With Hoffmans, I would guess that they'll definitely not be at Haubstadt, since they have a race @ Winchester the next day and they're only 9 points out of the lead for the sprint title. It would be great to see Jerry Coons there in the HAR #69, but it's not very likely.

And I think most fans are with you on not getting you qualifying spot back, if you have to transfer through the B. Me included. I don't think I've ever heard a fan say that they liked that rule.
