It just really bugs me that so many people seem to think that NASCAR is where the best racers are. That it is the "Major Leagues" of racing. I guess money wise it is but there are really only a handful of real racers there. There are a 100 drivers in NASCAR who could win in that #48 slot car. Can you imagine what kind of events the Hoosier 100 and Indy 500 could be if all the best racers were there again. Tony Stewart, Jeff Gordon, Kyle Busch, Robby Gordon, Dave Blaney, Steve Kinser, Sammy Swindell, Donny Schatz, Tony Kanaan, Sam Hornisch, Scott Dixon, Dan Wheldon, Danica Patrick lined up with Dave Darland, Jerry Coons, Tracey Hines, Cole Whitt, Jesse Hockett, Cory Kruseman, JJ Yeley, Scott Bloomquist, Rick Eckert in real race cars running the Indy Mile on Friday then IMS on Sunday. You couldn't build enough seats around the tracks. Or all these guys running Winchester, Salem, Eldora, Williams Grove, Kokomo, Knoxville or Lawrenceburg. I know I'm probably living in a fantasy world but I really believe it could happen again. Just not with the people who are in charge now.
