2025:
Stock Q1 at Indy with Density Altitude of ~1000ft
23 Cars ran 1 sec under

2024
Stock Q1 at Indy with Density Altitude of ~2500ft
57 cars ran 1 sec under

Interpret that as you see fit. Hopefully this is an effort to be dialed in the for the eliminator and running <1 sec under to protect averages and that there will still be a willingness to open it up and compete for class.

Regardless, I'm certainly bummed on not being there this year as Indy still holds a certain level of excitement you don't see at any other race.
