I wasn't in favor of the Floyd Kline race being up against the Pittsburgher, though it very unlikely wouldn't have affected Dog Hollow's car count. Just curious if that was the reason. It's good not two have two specials up against each other if it can be avoided until the Fall when every place schedules everything on top of one another.
