You beat me to it, was just working on a thread for this.
I love the inclusion of the midgets this year. It appears they have ironed out the kinks of indoor racing and the event will continue to grow. Larson, Bell, Stenhouse, and Haudenschild are racing along with the usual USAC suspects. Sammy is there too.
Kenny Wallace is racing his modified. The invitation only list of mod drivers seems to be UMP heavy, not the USMTS and IMCA guys I'm more familiar with.
The late models were the Bloomquist show last year. I would look for Jonathan Davenport to challenge him, along with Brandon Sheppard, Bobby Pierce and a few others. It doesn't seem like Josh Richards is there, he had been hot at the end of the season.
Full results from last night:
