On April 14, 2000, Qualifying Day 2, Erlikilyika was set to advance to the race until late when Owen Litchfield bumped him from the grid. Erlikilyika immediatly got back in line, however, Levi Brigden pancaked the wall off of turn two and the cleanup brought the session beyond it's 6:00 PM Local time Limit and Erlikilyika was unable to make it back to the track to get back in the field and had to run on Cut Day instead. On April 15, the weather was 20-30 degrees cooler than any previous day Erlikilyika had been on track and his car was not set up right all day.
