Favorite driver ≠ Championship leader
Relating to above subject, the championship leader doesn't always come to our mind as intense as our favorite driver, I guess Marco Andretti and Danica Patrick deserve more a mention in term of popularity.

Everybody has different favs I guess. Anyway, there have been complaints by Kanaan and others that the IRL marketing section only focuses on Marco and Danica and that the actual top dogs get far too little attention. Focus on the guys out in front I say! I don't like Franchitti either, but at this point he's the best guy on the grid.

I'm pulling for Dario to win it now he deserves a title to show for his decade in the States. I must admit in recent years, being English, I've been more inclined to follow Wheldon slightly more, but I've followed Dario's career ever since watching him drive DTM Mercedes at Donington in 1995. To be honest I'd always thought that if Dario was ever going to win a title over there, then 1999 was going to be the year (when Montoya pipped him at the last race), I'm not really sure where he's found this run of form, but I won't be complaining if it continues!
Dixon is starting to look ominous though.

It isn't wrong with such strategy to marketing the project muscle in on as much possible market of viewer as possible.
Yes, almost no Swedish drivers at the top...
