Proof in the pudding as to why people never cease to amaze me. This is the best thing that has happened to USAC, the IRL, the Speedway, and every single darn driver that races full time with USAC.
And yet... still complaining.
This is an awesome deal, and I can't wait to see it actually happen. Randy Bernard is the best thing to happen to the IRL, hands down, nobody can disagree with that. The things that he's already done are going to make the sport much much better. The whole engine lease deal is somewhat rediculous, but so was the last few yeas under TG. But with the new car in 2012 being so much cheaper, along with an engine package that isn't going to be near what it is right now, maybe we can get some of the teams back like PDM, Treadway, and those other teams that made the series what it is, and in doing so, bringing back drivers that we all know and love. Problem is it's still going to take money to get to that level, but the great thing about it is it's going to be pennies on the dollar from what it is right now. If you have a sponsor that is willing to shell out a million (which won't get them much of anything in nascar), you can have a competitive team, compared to now, with the HUUUUUUGGGGEEEE costs that are involved. Yeah, a million is a lot of money, but it's a lot cheaper than 4 or 5 million.
