See several drivers from the southern parts missing from the entry list; Tim Crawley, Mike Ward, Terry Gray, Nick Smith, the Howard bro's, Jerrod Hull, etc.
Anyone know if any of them will be coming up for that weekend?

No facts - just guesses...
USCS is having a 3 day show that same weekend with Thursday night at Riverside. Dale & Jan Howard haven't traveled much to race since Josh's crash. Tim Crawley's car is owned by Mike Ward. I don't believe Mike is racing anymore. Maybe you were thinking of Terry Gray, but he is leading in USCS points. I have no idea about Jerrod Hull, but since he's from Missouri (isn't he?) he might show. Actually, with Tim Crawley 5th in ASCS National points they might just make the haul on up... you'll know when you see the whites of their eyes....
Just my thoughts on the subject...
If you don't have a big ___ (since we are supposed to watch our speech here) motor for the huge Knoxville track maybe they're sticking with their short tracks. Another possibility. Or maybe it's the economy.

entry list is already at 92. With still 2+ weeks left - more entries will trickle in. Maybe 10 - maybe 20. who knows. I would think Crawley would be there - since he is running ASCS.
Tony Bruce Jr. and some other notables have yet to enter - and probably about another 6-12 that woulda ran Knoxville will go run Pevely. I think Knoxville will have near 110 entries, maybe more who knows. The real question is how many of those will show. Last year was near 130 entries - and almost 25 of those didn't show. Seems odd to me to pay the entry money and not show up.
It will be a hell of a show as always - probably the most underrated sprint car show in the world. Doesn't matter if you like 360's, 410's, or whatever - any fan of sprint car racing would love the 360 nat's. It's like seeing the 410 nationals (except sometimes better - by many accounts) - but without dealing with huge crowds  We look forward to seeing our 9th consecutive 360 nat's.
My personal question/doubt is about the USAC non-wing nationals. Knoxville puts an entry list on their website for ever show they have - but yet this one they have not. That is very disconcerting, especially after the midget debacle earlier this year (thank lord for the fans there that there were other classes racing). If we lived up that way - it wouldn't be that big a deal if only 20 showed up. Non wing 410 at Knoxville would be entertaining no matter what. BUT - the question for us is would it be worth the vacation day we would have to take off on Monday since we live in Oklahoma. I'm kinda thinkin I should save that vacation day and use it for the Short Track Nationals in October.....especially as no details on what to expect are ever offered about the Non Wing Nationals.

OKCFan12, I agree. I cannot believe k-ville is not taking preregistration for this new show, I would think they would like to know who is coming in to race that Sunday night. Also with the 360 car count averaging the same as the 410 it would be great to see the 360 purse increased throughout the field.

The 360 purse will be increased as soon as the fans come......so all of you 360 lovers out there, show up and bring your friends and there friends, then the purse will be increased...and I've addressed this in another post...tell me the other tracks in the country that post pre-registered cars...not many..the only reason kville does this for the 360 and 410's is because they need to try to equally split the fields and they need to know this in advance..

The 360 Nationals Purse WAS raised across the board this year. The winner's share stayed the same. Shows how it is noticed...
If this post isn't results, stories or something c

Thanks for clearing that up Bill....every 360 fan, team, and driver should support Arnold Motor Supply and Vermeer Manufacturing..because without these sponsors this event wouldn't happen...the attendance sure didn't allow kville to raise the purse...
