They could drive there in a 30 MPG car instead of 10 MPG towing and be treated like royalty in the Top Eliminator club for less money!

Please explain how this differs from "the good old days" when there were routinely more than 200 Super Stock and Stock entries at Indy and to my knowledge, the field size has always maxed out at 128 (not to mention the late '60s when it was a 32 car field).
Supply and demand. The initial quota was 160. It filled up incredibly fast so 20 more spots were added. Those spots went in about 48 hours so 20 more have been added. With more than 3 weeks before the start of the event, I think everyone is blown away that there is this much interest in class racing. I'm grateful that I booked my travel for a Tuesday arrival. I'm not missing this.
