To "reward" the racer with an earlier entry date, that runs more divisionals?

It couldnt always be about the money, otherwise they would charge full pop for your extra crew members, right?

SO, why not a 128 car field?................

Because it's INDY!!!! The US Nationals!!! The biggest race of the year! A week long event! The most sought after trophy on the circuit! There are a few reasons.......need some more??

The fact all of you against the new rule are missing is.......Stock and Super Stock have many classes. How fair is it for a guy to run .85 under the index and not get in the 128 car field and a class winner, who only got in because he was lucky enough to single for his .50 under class win??? Doesn't sound fair to me in a "performance based" eliminator!!! How can any of you......especially the one's who have constantly cried and whined about lifting, dumping and 1000' racing, be arguing against the fastest 128 making up the field at Indy.......and face it, we're only talking about Indy because that is the only race they allow that many entries! If you don't like this rule that only applies to this one race........don't go to that race! It's simple! If you're out to prove you belong in the elite of your class.....then go there and do just that......or go down swinging......not whining with a keyboard!
