Remember when Tony George had this great idea of making racing affordable and bringing in the local short track guys like Stewart, Carlson, Kite, Yeley, Drake and so on... That was cool!
Now we are right back to where it was before on both the IndyCar and Pro Series level with most drivers having to buy the ride. Granted, the truly talented drivers are not buying the ride, but I would guess 1/2 of the field pays to play. Milka Duno for instance, no one in their right mind would hire her to drive. She brings $ so they build her a car to drive..sort of drive.
They say history repeats itself, well, here we go again, making the IRL second to F1 in car cost, engine leases and other dictated cost.
This is a sinking ship and has been for years, the only salvation is Tony and Co. has a big bucket to bail with. (Deep Pockets)
Enough Ranting...
