        I believe the odds before any adjustments for quality of car or skill level would be 12-1. That is a long shot by any standard. So that would be a sucker bet, no matter who the driver is. You could bet the field won't make it and come out ahead, purely by odds. There will be around 275 of the 300 that won't make the show. There are a few ringers that should be even money. Their skill, equipment and past performance gives them a advantage. I would think, one of the hardest things to adapt to, going from a LM to a Midget, would be throttle control when sitting so up right with your legs tucked under you. Can't you still hear that one special teacher saying, 'Sit up in that chair young man and don't slouch". "Don't sprawl your feet all over the place. This isn't a obstacle course for the people walking around you". I believe that teacher designed the drivers area in a Midget or Sprint car. Try sitting like this and pretend to use gas and brake. Unless your very limber, it's hard to do. Especially with long ark throttle pedals that help throttle control.

          They're going to have a record amount of cars this year. 344 as of today with more entries coming in daily. Record was 349 last year. This event is massive and getting tougher every year.

                  I am not sure that is an accurate statement.

                    Interesting, I think he will either run really well, or trash it and be done.
                    Up in the air who my next “favorite” driver is. Really losing hope on Bloomer getting anywhere back to “normal”.

                        Does not make the "A" Main. To wreck less.
