Indy car racing sold its soul beginning in the 1960's, and in particular when the Penskes, Patricks and others of the road racing ilk convinced IMS/USAC they just could not "afford" to support 2 kinds of cars; i.e. get rid of the dirt cars. So now we have a second rate F1 facsimile that other than Indy can't get a crowd as big as a special event at Eldora. When I hear the praise heaped upon Penske and others and then look at the damage they have done to what was once the flagship series of American racing I almost get nauseous.
