Not entered or listed above, but also possible/probable are: Hannagan, Heskin, Ryan Smith, Stu Snyder, Matt Juhl, Danny Holtgraver, and Jack Dover.
These guys ran last year, but not sure what they're doing this year: Chris Shirek, Austen Wheatley, Andy Gregg (RoY last year), Brian Paulus, Josh Hodges (has been doing decent in USAC), Skylar Prochaska, Trey Starks, and Jeff Swindell (dropped off ASCS tour, ??) ... anybody know their plans for this August?
I wondered where Sam Hafertepe Jr has been - saw that he broke his arm in early May - didn't hear much about that at the time!? Anybody know when he's coming back? Hopefully soon... ran 2nd in the 360 Nationals last year and then put the 15h solidly in the 410 Nationals A-Main.

I think based on the above, I am confident we'll get to 105-110 entries and about 100 cars actually racing. Will be awesome like always.

I concur. 92 cars seems to be a little higher than usually signed up by this time of July. (maybe I am wrong) 100+ cars actually running would not be out of the question.

Getting excited! The 410 count is looking pretty good. Hopefully the 360 will climb up close the the 100 count.

96 cars entered as of 6 pm cdt... Probables you could add to the list: 05 Loyet..7S Sides..56 Heskin..44..Martin..7r Bunton..71a Johnson..1p Evans..44 Wheatley..45 Shaffer..59 Holtgraver..93 Haudenschild..94 Smith..99 Bacon..J Haud..That takes the count to 110 easily with surprise entries yet to come...My guess is 115 entries with 105 actual racing give or take a few...Don't see any IRA cars much anymore or the Mowa cars....

The IRA & MOWA guys are tough on short tracks & bullrings but I don't think they have the motors to be competetive at a big track like Knoxvilke. Used to see a few IRA guys at Knoxville on the odd Saturday there was no IRA race but lately the only one who shows up is Balog.

Holy crap! It is going to be long qualifying nights. I did the math. The normal 50-55 cars take about 3.5 hours. If a million cars show up and they split the field in half, it will take over 91 years for each of the qualifying nights..............................I hope only 100-110 end up coming! 
You going to Nationals larryitis? Unfortunately, I am not going to be able to make Wilmot this weekend. See you down the road.

I'm planning on it. Hoping to get on the road Friday after work and be there for those last 2 nights. I will definitely find you and hang out for a beer or 2. If I remember correctly we both will be sitting in the same area? Backstretch, lower rows?

Great! Yes--we usually sit in section X but I think we are in Y this year--have to check my tickets again. We will be camping in Van Donsler's so I will get a hold of you. We are also not leaving until Friday afternoon. (new job does not allow me to miss that Thursday and Friday)
Hope to see you then!
