I/we went there for a number of years, best i can remember without checking my notes,192 cars for the 4+ day event.
All of us are more than ready for ISW, and looking forward to the Sprint Bandit/ TNT tour in August
If you read what I said it means that I feel there are more legit teams capable of winning at Sprint Week than the Knoxville Nationals. Be honest to yourself here, In recent history, How many outside the WOO (Which carrys 11 cars) or track regulars have won Knoxville? Yet last year we had Bland Jr. Win, The year before Clayton
192 cars or not, Probably ten of them are gonna win 90 percent.
It was obvious to me at the Burg WOO show that about five teams HAD the edge and the rest were fillers.
IM also going to post something here that compliments the WOO. Look at who's winning. Most of them have raced for years. You just don't step into the WOO unless your Tim Kaeding or Craig Kinser and win very often. I believe Shatz raced for at least ten years before his first championship. Joey Saldana started in Burg and IN short tracks back in the late 80s early 90s.
Believe what you want, But I truelly believe that there are at least 30 at every sprint week show that could win any night of that week.
I have nothing against the Knox Nationals other than its winged (LOL) To its credit they don't follow the WOO format and go only by times and go by accumulated points. Making the prelims and heats a GO OR GO HOME situtation.
Chuck, who really hasn't seen a good wing heat race in years but USACs are 8 inverted.
