    Im going to say 2/3rd’s of the field finish both the million and the Dream. Think they know by now what they will have to do in order to have the track in good shape come race time.

    Just my thought

      For a million dollars. Most will have a complete new drive line from the rad to the quick change. Sparks from the brakes will be lighting up the night sky. Motors will be set on kill, especially for qualifying. Shocks and springs will be smashed like you've never seen. Tires and there plastic wrap will be plentiful. All for a $, $$$, $$$. For that 1 team to hit on all of the above is scarce unless you have lady luck along for the ride.

          MastersBuilt, your right. I do like the looks of today's slm, but only when there on the gas. That RF sticking 18" up in the air just makes me shake my head. These bodies on the cars today are bent it every possible angle to take every advantage they can on creating downforce and side angles. Why either sanctioning bodies can't get this under control is beyond me. Well I take that back, I no why, there worried about the other group back stabbing them and losing teams to the other side. It's what we got, the racing is good, but I think with some simple body rules the racing could be better. Anytime this subject is brought up I think of Francis making his call out to everyone that there will be change. I'm still waiting Steve, you've gone down that corporate hole and the light went off.

            Depends on if Eldora gets the new track surface figured out and how good/bad mother nature cooperates. I will say that I think more will finish the Dream then the Million. Figured guys will be more aggressive and harder on their equipment chasing that million.

              They sold their soul the day they allowed noses with splitter and flat aftermarket roof. When we had to make a roof, that arch in it was strictly enforced and for good reason. It actually made lift, not downforce.

                Just got a chance to watch the Johnny Applebee's memorial all I got to say is if you think that track rough you ain't never been to a rough race track that was a good race about 2 more laps erb might not have won.

                  They are airing the track out right now, trying to dry the soil and hardpack it. I ecpect it will be dryslick and dusty, sadly.
                  If you're not outraged, you're not paying attention!
