Jim Swain was at Owosso.
Dave Baumgartner engine problems.
Mike Ling hurt his back in a dirt car in Canada.
David Steele did not have an engine together for Salem.
Bo Hartley totalled the 3x at Toledo in July.
Blaze Martin has not been out since spring.
Kevin Feeney was at Owosso.
Please don't think I'm making excuses for car count or anything. I'm simply answering a question tht was asked, and providing a little more information.
With the weather and the travel from Michigan, combined with AVSS at Owosoo, it was sensible for those cars to stay closer to home.
