USAC Guys still haven't got their shot, they deserve, since the early I.R.L. days. Hope to see, Kody Swanson, at IMS! He is getting a shot in Taxi Cabs, which is fine, but the 500 is still a big deal!
Remember, "The Road to Indy," Program? Tony George, cared about Sprint, Midget, & Champ Dirt Car Drivers!! Roger Penske, could care less!! 😡
He proved that when he fired Gary Bettenhausen!! JMO.
Lots of drivers have been fired without the owner being accused of "not Caring" about the racing background they came from... And contrary of popular belief, well in the IoW world anyway, a person can love sprint cars and midgets AND marvel at the modern IndyCar driver. I learned long ago that a badass driver is a badass driver, even if he never ran Kokomo or Salem... If you don't get Scott Dixon's greatness well, you just aren't paying attention. Same with a number of those guys...
