Some of us watched Indy not just for the drivers. We watched Indy for the innovation. Most of us who did left the series long ago. The rest of us will follow them out the door.

That said, if Chevy or Penske could figure out how to lap the field at Indy within the confines of a rules package that allowed innovation, the media coverage the next day and the hype before the next race would certainly attract some new viewers. While that might sound boring to those who like watching cars go droning around and around in circles, it wouldn't be boring to the new manufacturers or sponsors that would join so their engineers could beat Chevy or Penske.
One only has to look at the America's Cup to see the interest by casual fans and corporate sponsors when innovation was introduced to what was and still is a boring sport for all but the participants."For 80 years this place has run on tradition.
