With the race still over two weeks away, The PAS has received 57 entries.

One of only four drivers to have won all three of USAC's major championships (Silver Crown, National Sprints and Midgets), the 39 year-old is second in USAC National Sprint Car points as the series swings west. He will be in the cockpit of Jeff Walker's #11 car at the Budweiser Oval Nationals.

The entry for Pittsboro, Indiana's Justin Marvel came in and he will be driving a car owned by Las Vegas, Nevada's Ben Lancaster as a teammate to Adam Mitchell. In addition, three new Northern California entries came in on Wednesday. Newcastle star Andy Forsberg, Jim Richardson of Graeagle and Michael Trimble of Morgan Hill. The latest entries from Southern California are 2001 USAC Western Midget Champion Danny Ebberts of Canyon Lake and Shaun Kautz of Aqua Dulce.
