They will qualify .2 to.3 quicker which might allow them to qualify.

Not like the good old days... look at the qualifying sheets at the Mission Points Meets a dozen or so years ago. Almost all the top ten are Hemi cars but it wasn't a soft index, the cream of the crop were there and they were making amazing runs.

Now to have the Hemis atop the qualifying order they'd be close to the sevens and that just isn't likely to happen anytime soon.

They could easily bring some excitement back with index.
