anyone have a feel for where the national guys will be Friday? Btown or Gas City? I'm guessing most will go to Gas City with double purse.

I'm guessing that alot of them will be at IMS hobnobbing with the NASCAR crowd and wont be anywhere Friday night.

There is a national race on Saturday! So I may venture a guess that some drivers may take the RARE friday off to spend time with the family.

Maybe they will be hobnobbing with the Nascar drivers by tryin to get them to start theie own USAC team. I know the young drivers go after the fame and fortune but man I sure hate to lose USAC drivers to Nascar. They might make millions but the actual racing is a downstep and usually ends up ruining a promising drivers career.

I am sure glad Bryan Clauson is back and wish Cole Whitt and K. Swindell were still around, just to name a few.

I am surprised that Levi hasn't went truck racing or something like that. He might not be my favorite but, I sure hope he stays put.

Unfortunately if you are not a foreigner, a road-course specialist or have a huge bank account, Indy cars will not even give you a passing glance. There are SO MANY people who deserve the shot that will never get it.
