Bump Spot for Stock and Super Stock Without AHFS At Indy

You seem like you are taking it pretty well.I would really be upset if I was there and the very last car in the field got to race before me.

Nothing could really upset me, my Camaro went it's best ET and mph ever and I won a $10k tool box at the racers appreciation dinner. It was a good Indy for me except for not getting into the field.

Wow,congratulations.

I bet that 10k toolbox is double what you could have won by winning the race.

In the past with my SS/AH car, I would be outside the top 128. When SS was called I would go up and they would have the qualifying sheet and I would “check in” so they knew I was there. The official would then start filling in from the top of the list on down, with the slowest qualifier getting the first racer on up. That way if there were more spots open than racers to fill them, the higher qualifier got the bye. Seemed like a fair way to me. All it takes is a little effort and fairness to all involved.
