But the CART people, their big money sponsors and the media was against the IRL from the very start and the pockets of 16th & Georgetown were only so deep. Now it's just a memory.

The racing was great in the IRL. Another problem is all the people who said they wanted to see short track stars run Indycars never went. I went to Kansas, Chicagoland, Kentucky, and Indy. There were no fans. I think they put on some pretty good races today. Would like to see a couple of more ovals.
