Because they would give everyone a time run before starting eliminations. If the field were still at 390 cars, it would be hard to go through all of eliminations in a single day unless there were no problems.

The other side of trying to get some racing in today is the effect a postponement will have on racers. Before eliminations started, there were 300+ racers who would have had to make a choice between returning here or going to where they had originally planned to go on that date. If you can get through just one round of eliminations, then the number of racers who would have to make that decision is cut in half.
