This is old news, so there's no need to discuss about that. This is going to be a topic full of whining about what should be better and what's wrong. Not a very useful topic, think the moderator might close it asap.

We were out pretty late and when I cam home I was pretty surprised to see the Indycar race still on and with a ways to go - I'd agree the hour was too late.....

0.2? Really? I'm not sure what they need to do at this point. As for jumping the shark, that happened several years ago. The shark that this series jumped is likely in a retirement home by now, only eating surfers who swim up to him and beg for a quick death.
I thought this was the best IndyCar race, with the most dramatic twists & turns, that I've seen in a long, long, looooong time! I really enjoyed it! I couldn't tell from the camera shots just how full the stands were, but to now see that such a great race got a .2 Nielsen is pretty disheartening. The ratings aren't even stabilizing - somehow they're continuing to spiral downward. They're not doing anything meaningful to promote the series or the drivers, so I don't guess I'm all that surprised.
IMO, it goes back to what I've said for over ten years now: sure, focus on cutting cost. But the consumer/customer doesn't care about what the costs are, as much as he cares about the value of the product. What has the IRL, CART, CCWS or this IndyCar series done to enhance value to the customer? Anyone? Anyone?

Beside bringing Kim Kardashian as new flag girl, I have some other great ideas that would work, but I don't come cheap.
