My guess would be they picked a bad weekend to schedule the race. The same weekend was Brainerd. Bowling Green is this weekend and Indy is the following week. Not many can take that much time off of work and do that much traveling. Most all of the racers run both sanctioning bodies. That's the hot bed of racing in that part of the country for NHRA. IHRA needs to figure out how to schedule their races so they are not on top of the NHRA schedule.
