Do the top 32 cars make the heats for Sprint Week shows? I think that used to be the format. Does everyone below the cut # go to a C main? I'm used to the late model shows where everyone runs a heat regardless of car count.

Also, are there provisional for USAC &/or track point leaders if they don't make the feature?

I'm excited to be going to my first 2 nights of Sprint Week at Gas City & Kokomo. Just hope Mother Nature plays nice for the week!

Thanks for the info!!

Looks like the fastest 48 qualifiers make the heats, 49th and slower go to the qualifying race. The only provisionals available are for USAC cars and drivers.
