The Indy 500 will be around long after we are gone.

Wonder about the museum, was it a part of the purchase, or a separate entity, most of the items in there are on loan, I would guess that could be another negotiable part of the purchase, but might be a little bit more complicated. There is some strange wording in some of the agreements.

I concur. I would rather Penske buy IMS than some foreign entity that doesn't truly understand or respect what the place means. You think everybody's up in arms now, can you imagine if the track was rechristened "Barclays Brickyard", or if Etihad Airlines was painted across the yard of bricks?

I heard $2 billion thrown around. Which seems like a lot until you realize Penske Corp. generates $32 billion annually.

I for one was all for the IRL and its supposed mission, I couldn't understand why someone like Robin Miller was so against it. But now looking back in hindsight, it was a terrible thing for our beloved top level of open wheel racing in this country. I can see now how STRONG Cart was just before the split and how even now it hasn't regained that level of following. |

Penske Auto Group is a publicly traded company so I would imagine that amount could be found

I like The 500 , but that's the only Indy car race that I'll watch. Now I'm waiting for that brickyard dude to come on here and tell me that I'm not a real American because I don't like progress. Sorry (not really) for the rant , |
