128 car fields goes back a ways. Back then, lowest qualified 128 cars raced. Anyone #129 could stick around to see if any of the qualified cars couldn't make first round. The others could watch or go home.
Divisionals are all run fields.
Indy takes 170+ in S/SS. 128 race the others go home.

Sorry, I worded it wrong, when the fans go to get something to eat or whatever, it doesn't bother me there not there. I want the place packed too. Make money so the tracks stay open.
