New open wheel series

it's getting more popular, I know a handful of new fans so I know it's happening. if there were only 10K there (and there were not) why does the track want indy back? they like losing money? No.

Your proof that it is getting more popular is that you know a handful of new fans?, Well, my proof that the earth is flat is that I personally live in a part of Texas that is as flat as a pizza.

My proof is that I know a lot of people who used to care about Indy Cars (CART, CCWS, IRL) and now couldn't care less, I remember meeting and having dinner with so many fine people during races, they couldn't care less about Indy Car now, I didn't miss a single race for years, I saw half of the races this year, and some of them just a part of it.

The thing is that your proof and my proof are not valid, they are just personal experiences, the real proof is the number of tickets sold (sold, not freebies), and the TV ratings, mainly the TV ratings, no one is watching anymore, but I'm sure your 5 friends that are new fans will move that 0.2 rating to a 0.201

No it doesn't.

The 2012 Indy 500 drew a 4.1 rating. The NASCAR race that same day drew a 6.7. So basically your "king" is NASCAR's b*tch!

4.3

That's me. I'm curious about Indycar for the same reason I'm curious about Lindsey Lohan. I'm just waiting for the news that one of them has died. My money is on Lohan surviving longer than Indycar.
