Yikes!!! I don't know about you guys, but how concerned are you when you see top-notch drivers like Wheldon or Hornish racing for professional teams, on an oval track with guys like Roth and Herb running two-bit operations. Maybe its just me, but I worry about the safety of those involved on race weekends.

When you need 20 cars in a field to make it appealing, you look the other way at times. Marty shouldn't be racing at this level, and neither should Herb. Do we need another Dana incident?? At least Dana showed promise, I suspect Herb and Roth are chasing a dream that neither one will even come close to fulfilling...

Canada, I agree with you there. Another death in the IRL by some no hoper would just about expose this field filling stuff even if it isn't official IRL policy.

Champ, Dana should have been a good driver and in many ways we wont know how good he was. That said, I watched that accident over and over again because it was played too much, and I cant figure out what was going on in Dana's head. It has been beaten to death before how Dana never slowed down in a situation where he should have, but that is something that no one knows what happened. The point is Herb and Roth are not even in the same class with Dana, and if Dana could make one error in such a common situation, I shudder when I see Roth and Herb out there.....

THis is the issue IRL fans have to pay attention to. It is one thing to have someone out there on a street course in Champ Car that shouldn't be there, it is bad, but often the wrecks are not too horrible, god knows PT proves you can walk away from 99% of them. The thing is, when you are flat out at most of the IRL ovals, seeing a guy who makes bad judgement calls has to scare someone out there racing against them. That is the true tragedy, that there isn't enough good solid race drivers to go around to staff both series.
