Johnson and Kahne say "they are in"

And a bigger Indy 500 means more sponsors,

Not necessarily. It might bring more exposure to the 500 but will do little to support the series.

You want marketable stars, who have fanbases? They ain't in Brazil or Belgium. They are in Charlotte.

So there are no Brazilian fans? Or Belgian? Do you think the world ends at the US border? You do realize there are tens of thousands of US businesses that do business in other countries? Why do you think that major corporations like ATT, Exxon/Mobil and HP are in F-1 and not Indy Car?


Worse case scenario. A NASCAR driver does really well and embarrasses the established Indy Car stars. It is a distinct possibility.
