USAC plan; USAC Star take out local who is leading the race. Inflame the racing public. Stir up PR for a series on life support. Pat the USAC star on the back for job well done. USAC go tell local runner "sorry to take you out, but it will be great for the sport". This is the same formula used to advance southern stock car racing. Expect more contrived rivalry in the three national series in the future. I hope no one gets hurt in the process.
