Format sucks for smaller budget teams and gone are the 200+ cars.
I wouldn't blame the format. I'd blame it on the out of control costs in general.
They had 200+ cars one day? No way. I don’t believe youQuote:

Will Jr. Banks be racing? Anyone know if David Dixon will be racing?
Will Vern Saturday Night LaFevers be there?
That list of 76 was a pre-entry list from a couple days ago. Several teams don't pre-enter. There are names that are there or will be there, that are not on the pre-entry list.
It is actually better not to have 200 cars IMO. Have 80 or so and you have a potential for a great show. It certainly is expensive and there are teams that just don't want to spend that much. Makes sense.
Look at all the cars in the pits in 1981https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JeoRCfeoiqA
I don’t see Ferguson on the list, but I’m pretty sure they are there.
The days of the 20 car heats are gone and in my opinion, that is a good thingQuote:
