Marketing cues
It was pointed out that all the star power in this year's Daytona 24 might give the series some momentum into the public awareness. Since Mr. George was there, hopefully he observed the *benefit* of attracting big name drivers from other series into one's own premier event, making it into a sort of RACE OF CHAMPIONS.

And yeah, that series he tried to destroy is actually an asset to him. He just needs to realize it. They were perfectly willing to buy and enter the race post-split before. It would be good for Indy, which would benefit the IRL due to incresed exposure and respect, and in the same way it would be good for those CC drivers and the teams they drive for.

It didn't benefit Junky. And during Daytona 24 hour coverage Fox TV had to remind us of the Tracy 500 robbery. The camera view they used clearly showed no yellow light on when Tracy completed the pass. ABC must have kept those frames in a lock box and away from public comment.

I think it still benefited those guys - the 500 is still good exposure and PR for any OW driver - even if it's about whether PT got robbed or not.
Indycar is back!

TG must have made a deal with Barry Green so he'd quiet down on the Tracy situation. At least it worked out for the team owner in the long run.
Same, it's not very exiting to watch
