SevenGrain should be qualifying in the top 10 on the grid
Phoenix is an excellent track, and when in was a CART event prior to 1996, the grandstands were always full. Now there are more empty seats than full. One of the best CART races ever was held at Phoenix in 1993. Nigel Mansell and Paul Tracy traded the lead several times at high speed in heavy traffic. Mansell won and Tracy ended up in the wall. Now aerodynamic restrictions on the short ovals ( The Hanford MkII) make that type of racing nearly impossible.
