National publicity on Homestead
Looks like the IRL made a pretty big splash for its opener.
You hafta be a subscriber to read the whole thing on these two, but the Wall Street Journal had this story:
http://online.wsj.com/google_login.h...googlenews_wsj
The New York Times had this one:

Plus ABC World News Sunday had a report on the ICS and Ethanol. Firestone had a double-page ad in the March 26 issue of Sports Illustrated featuring 18 drivers in uniform with sponsor logos and also pages 2-3 of National Speed Sport News (perhaps among others).
Plus Mario Dominguez and Nelson Phillippe attending the Homestead ICS drivers' meeting (for whatever speculative reason) and now we hear Andrew Ranger is signed with a CASCAR team.
Things are a little different this year.

I guess it means that Ranger, unlike Phillippe and Dominguez, is not showing up at IRL races kicking tires and/or possibly looking for a deal to run.

Ethanol is a sham - just like the IRL. Does get the granola head medias attention though.

Things are different this year, but different does not mean better.
