    What? Are you serious? Oh, that's right it worked so well the last time the idiot grandson took over. Who was it that said anyone who doesn't understand history is destined to repeat it. Sure applies here.

    Well, it worked so well the first time, why the heck not give him another shot? Maybe he'll bring in RIM as the new title sponsor and the BlackBerry will be the official phone. We'll take bets on whether the series or the title sponsor dies first.

    If this happens, please let me know how it works out. I'll be getting off at the next stop... for good this time. I'll be joining the great majority who have already walked out the door.

    It is my gut feeling the "sisters" have had enough... will retain the speedway at this time but done with supporting series... It is published that indycar lost money in 2012, and TG's threat of no profit by 2013 was not an idle one, despite other posters opinions. I also think that Nascar ISC will be calling within 5 years for the speedway with an offer that "cannot be refused" and the aging dowagers will sell out to ensure cash for future generations of lil' georges.

I dunno but there was a time when the attendance was good in Kansas, Nashville, Chicagoland, Kentucky, Milwaukee to call a couple of examples and this all decreased since TG isn't the boss anymore... I don't care about traditions, I just want to see some good piece of racing with at least a balanced schedule and not a schedule being dominated by road/streets because this series wasn't made for that. Having that said, the current series was made because the racing in the old IndyCar World Series would be too expensive and look what we have now.... There's a terrible economy and the new car is way more expensive and so the engines are.... The IRL was made for reducing the costs, geez...
    The IRL doesn't race on many ovals any longer because you oval fans don't support ovals, except on message boards, and that doesn't pay the bills. How much longer do you people think the George family is obligated to fund your sport?

    Apparently, the name change to INDYCAR only seems to have taken place beginning with the 2011 season. Or, at least that is what one might gather from the two recent Record Books that have been released.
