It all depends if NHRA see's the $$$. With Only 51 cars entered in Super Gas and Super Comp there will be plenty of extra pit space for more Stock and Super Stock entries. If Enough people call NHRA about it and they Think they will get more Money by opening up more spots, I'd bet they will.

It's Typical NHRA Logic. They added 80 TD and TS spots so we need to take away 80 spots somewhere else. Instead of looking at previous years where car count's were seriously down in SG and SC they just took spots away across the board. Hopefully they will see that only 51 cars have entered in Both SG and SC and will open up some Stock and SS spots.

Knowing how stupid NHRA is lately they probably want snowmobiles to fill the pits !

Only 1 spot left is SS Opps correction None left.

There will be some withdrawals after Bowling Green, only unknown is how many ex-champs and top tens enter like Larry said which may take the number of entries close to 170. Grim reality will set in if they can’t run 80 under in Super Stock and 90 under in Stock and conditions at BG usually make that obvious to some (me included).

[QUOTE=Whalen3186;593710]I would argue that changing the quota from 160 to 180 does impact some racers. If you're the guy that qualifies #130 with a 180 car quota, there's a good chance that you would have made the show with 160 entries. There's probably a few racers that entered Indy with the expectation of a 160 car quota and the belief that they could qualify.

EXACTLY! We have all known it was 160 since the season started... you wanna run The Go... then load your stuff up 4-5 times the other 51 weeks out of the year and Go to the track.
