Was there actually an original IRL vision for helping to bring USAC drivers up through the ranks to the series?
- OR -
Was all that smoke n' mirrors while Tony took complete control of highest form of open wheel racing in America?
That is a great question...
One original IRL team owner told me in the pits Saturday that if there was that kind of "original IRL vision" it's long gone now.
I think that's unfortunate and bad leadership on TG's part if true. IMO, the IRL is very good now, but really could have been great.
After Gateway this past weekend, I have come to accept that if I am going to enjoy the IRL (which I definitely do and AM a fan of) I am going to have accept the IRL for what it is and what it will not be; which is a place for the likes of Tracy Hines and JJ Yeley to end up. There is no use in posting/whining about it...it is what it is and that's that.
By the way, for whatever its worth good luck to Jay Drake in his upcoming IRL test at Kentucky.
