No Ed, it didn't; it's at 158 now. In an earlier post, I predicted that it would be full by Monday; I have to retract that, it may be full before I go to bed tonight!

It's full at 160 now!

I don't know what's going on with the stock eliminator boyz but I vote for 200 in Super Stock PLS!! C'mon everyone jump in with the request the grade 1 guys need our support!!

I find it hard to believe that Super Stock reached its quota this soon. Nhra should give serious consideration to adding another 20 entries. 180 is what they had last year.

I am sure they will raise the quota to 180. There are quite a few racers that I know that plan on going that aren't entered. The majority of the hemi cars don't rave anyway so they should add more quota for that reason. Or even better don't require anyone that is only planning on running the hemi shootout to enter the race.

I believe the All Star race is the only race you can be in and not enter the event.

per the rules a while back if a class fills at grade 2 and they raise the quota no grade less can enter.

180 is what they've had for as long as I can remember. NHRA has increased the quota at other events; hopefully they will do so for Indy.

Stock may be filling slow because of the Factory Stock classes. It makes it hard for ordinary stockers to make the field. Last year, I think the first ~20 spots were factory stock cars.

You snooze, you lose. NHRA stated the quota of 160 entries at the beginning of the year, and they meant it. The only reason that Stock has 180 entries, is the Factory Stock event which caters to the OEM's. My question is why do people wait continually till the deadlines to enter, and then complain when the fields are filled. It appears to me, that those who are upset, wouldn't have made the 128 car qualified fields anyway. The U.S. NATIONALS is the last event where performance counts. This one is not just about bracket racing acumen. INDY is the Daytona, the Masters, the Super Bowl, the NCAA Finals, and the World Series of our sport. I'm always amused at the comments from the posters with no names, who only wish they would've made one more open or divisional so that they could've entered INDY. My suggestion, is that you start planning for next year's event, now.
