And how would an IndyCar oval race resemble a sprint car race at Kokomo?
I implore you to watch the IRL at Texas here in a couple weeks. After that, hop back on here and tell me if you saw any passing and/or side by side racing.
Speaking of passing and side by side racing, those are the two things that IndyCar (on ovals) has in common with Kokomo.
Say what you want about the current state of the IRL, God knows there have been some major screwups that haunt the series to this day. I'm not debating that at all. But if you honestly think NASCAR has more passing, action or excitement than does IndyCar, you know less than nothing about racing. Period.
