Idk if I have ever seen a more loaded 360 Nationals not have I seen such a good split of cars running each night. I can't even give one night or the other an edge of being tougher than the other. Let's go racing. See you at the track tomorrow.

Do you think this will sell out, or at least sell many more tickets because the 410 Nationals is missing? 

Is the driver list more stout  for the same reason?

I have been wondering about my fellow Canuck driver, but what is an honorary entry, and how do you earn that?

Even though I may not know you, I 
care what most of you think!

I would be surprised if it sold out. 360 nationals don't usually draw a huge crowd anyway so any uptick in attendance could still be easily handled at the 7000 fans allowed or whatever that number is.

We have more more top notch 410 drivers dropping down to run 360 nationals. Reasons? Probably no where to run and lack of races so far this year. I still figured the Ironman would pull some of those 410 drivers but it didn't seem to have as much of an effect this year. Maybe everyone is scared of how bad Sheldon is gonna spank then down there this year.

As for Kennedy, he has talked to US government, Canadian government and idk who else about crossing the border with equipment to race and has been denied. He talked about renting a plane capable of hauling his equipment down but I feel he was joking? Unless I misread the sarcasm. If someone knows what his actual plans are it would be cool to know. I was hoping he would make it in as he is pretty dang good at Knoxville each time he comes and has a couple wins I think.

Six car heat inverts. In other words, qualify 31st and your week is over. 

Thank you IADIRT.

Any idea how Skykar Gee made it down? I dont think he raced in Florida so started in May I assume.

Even though I may not know you, I 
care what most of you think!

I'm not sure the field is good enough to justify an 8 car invert. A ton of rookies in the field and the fear is something occuring at the front of the heat race that wrecks a ton of cars, which is why the 410 field went from 10 car invert to 8 car in the first place.

I was curious also so I did a little digging.  Skylar has a Twitter post from February 5 referencing going "back to Indy."  So he may not have raced in FL but seems like he was already in the States before the border closed.

Signature here.

He has been running 410 mostly.with the All Stars.  I'm guessing he was already in the states when things got crazy.

No Sammy or am I now going blind?

Sammy at I-55 this weekend I believe. Haven't heard if K ville next week or not. Sure hope so!

EDIT: Sammy will be at Knoxville next weekend!

Lots of people asked Gee on Twitter the same question. He indeed was across the border and racing in Feb before this so he stayed. Lucky I guess depending which way you look at it.

I respectfully disagree. You will have A LOT of great cars and drivers starting in row 4 of the heats which actually might put some pressure on the fast guys in row three. Are these 8 or 10 lap heats?

The 360 Nationals heats are 8 laps.  One could argue that the cars that qualify 31st - 40th are going to have an uphill battle even if the invert was 8 (and they started up front in their heat), due to the points lost in qualifying.  You have to be fast every time you hit the track to be up front on Saturday... qualifying included.  It's not easy... not supposed to be!

Puzzled by this statement.  If you time in 31st, it is very likely you didn't bring a piece that is going to end up on the podium Saturday night anyways.  If you qualify 30th and make the invert, it doesn't matter.  You are 60 pts. down the list in points already.  You can win your heat and get the full 100 pts, but you would need to win the A (or finish 2nd) to even have a chance at locking into the A on Saturday night.  Not likely if you timed in 30th.  

Getting on the pole in your heat is great, and if you can hold the lead, it will land you in the preliminary night A.  But that does nothing to help your chances of getting into the big show on Saturday night.  I would say if you don't time in top 20, you are not locking into the Saturday night feature on your prelim night.  

Not sure if this was his point, but at least in the 410 nats, timing 31-40 gives you a great chance of making the field on your prelim night, which pays decent money.

If the 410s had this format, you'd have no shot at making any money on your prelim night if you timed 31-40. The 360s doesn't pay much on prelim night, but not only are you SOL points wise for Saturday, you have no shot at making any money on your prelim night if you time 31st or worse.

I think it's time Knoxville paid a better purse for the 360 Nats, but when you're getting 105 entries, hard to argue you're not paying enough...

Good points. I looked back at last year and the delta between 1 and 31 was .7 second on night one and a full second on night 2 and that difference couldn't just be track conditions. I always cheer for the underdog and despise formats that don't give that guy a chance at a bit of glory. I also hate that qualifying on the track by yourself counts equal to each position in a 20 lap race with 23 other cars but that is different fight. Hope you guys see some good racing tonight. 

Similar to the Chili Bowl. Prestige.

I can understand that logic.  I guess I wrongly assumed he was referring to having a chance to win the whole thing vs. just have a decent payday and a respectable showing.  

No disrespect to your opinion, but I LOVE the fact that it counts for as much as the feature.   I find it exciting to see qualifying actually count for something and everyone is running full out every time they hit the track.  I love the unique situation.  I love seeing drivers who draw a bad pill still find a way to lay down a top-10 lap.  I love seeing an underdog draw a great pill and lay down a great lap to start out their Nationals with a bang.  I find it fun.  

JMO though
