Thank you ABC for treating Indycar like garbage.

**MAX_THRUST** · 16th Jun 12, 21:34

Thought for amoment they were going to keep Indy Car on ABC, they obviously stayed with it until the race build up had been done with and switched for the race start. Gutted.

Great drive by RHR.

**heliocastroneves#3** · 16th Jun 12, 22:05

I guess we won't be back here, next year... Let's hope it will be replaced with another good 1-mile oval.

EDIT: Just read we will be back here next year, great!

**jackmart** · 16th Jun 12, 22:15

The penalty for Dixon was ridiculous!

**booger** · 16th Jun 12, 23:04

One of my friends just called me from Milwaukee. He said the scuttle there is that Andretti Sports Mktg. will be promoting a race at Road America in August. Anybody else hear this rumor?

Really beginning to understand the owners who wanted to push RB out.

An event that has been given a "2nd chance" time and again will be given another "2nd Chance" WTF is wrong with IndyCar?

It is a good thing that I have ESPN 8 just in case ABC sends IC there next time, but I can't really blame them, it is all about money.

I think I was at different race. There where people everywhere, in my opinion this was second biggest crowd since they rebuild grandstands. With this economy and cancellation of the race and uncertainty I was surprised how many people showed up. Rain did damage some, as people left and it was raining for two hrs ,but most people stayed. I don't understand some of the negative posts and I could care less obout ovals but with limited time to put this together and no promotion in big city like Chicago this race was a success. Infield was packed,but Friday was not free as I had to pay to go infield and many where upset, and they have to fix that with some better package. Cars where fast and with speed ugly bumpers did not matter much. Negatores here have to remember that Milwaukee grandsands where smaller in 90s and Miller beer was giving 1/2 of those for free, therefore ease up on critic and judgment from the couch because Michael has announced that race will be back and with steady date and year long promotion wil be there for years to come as it should because it is great track with great tradition and racing. Could it be improved? Absolutely, but I don't understand why all this doom and gloom all the time even after great event like today.
