This is refreshing to see, and even though it may have been an organized effort by IndyCar, it isn't really an isolated incident; Doug Bowles is an avowed short track fan, and several IndyCar drivers, most notably Scott Dixon, have been known to frequent Kokomo on Sunday nights when they have a chance. Just because someone comes from another country doesn't mean they're "out of touch" with dirt track racing; Dixie's parents were both dirt track racers and there's a bullring (Hi-Tec Oils Speedway) in Will Power's hometown of Towoomba, Queensland. Even the guy who started the Rear-Engine Revolution at Indy, one Black Jack Brabham, got his start wheeling a midget.
