It was great to see Racin Gardner start the 500 in 1996.

More hillbillification. All series do provisionals now. Probably won't make much difference. I just hope this doesn't lead to a chase, double file restarts, and stage racing.

Racing should be about racing, & racing all season long, that NAPCAR Chase junk has ruined that series along w/ Provisionals, Lucky Dog & whatever else they've cooked up to make money. Racing is go fast or go home for me, why I stick w/ short tracks

No one here will be surprised if this nonsense becomes reality. Penske will look out for his interests (as we all would do) and will no doubt influence most other owners, except maybe Foyt. No one amasses a billion and a half, like Penske has, without covering their ass whenever possible. It's now up to Indycar and IMS to resist pressure. They've stayed true to tradition for the most part except for the funky qualifying procedure. I hope they don't knuckle under.
