Agree and disagree.

But, we do have every race on TV, something they did not even have in the early days of CART. That will continue until the end of the current agreement (2017/2018?). The crowd at the 500, has grown the last three years....heck, we even have a bigger crowd than the BY400 now (which was not always the case, despite what they say at 16th and G). The crowds were good at most races, not named Fontana, Texas or Edmonton.
And, the racing was fantastic last year! I'm sorry but eight different winners, and the potential to have more, was much better than the "window dressing" you describe.
If only we can get better TV ratings (which would lead to more money for the series and teams) we could continue to build on what we once had. They say for every year an major league is on strike, it takes 3 years for the numbers to recover. The fact we were in a split for ten years, means we still have a LOT of work to do.
The burnt toast will bear fruit once the series is no longer on TV.....and we are not at that point and time now.Green, Green, Green!
