Here has been my problem with IndyCars. Years ago they put Dave Steele in a Panther car. He was doing better lap times than Goodyear. The suspension broke on the car and he was along for the ride into the wall. The prevailing thought was Steele had his shot even though there was nothing he could do about the accident. Now we see this hack name Viso going on his fifth season now. He has torn up more equipment than possibly every short tracker that raced in the IRL put together. Yesterday as a lapped car he held up Simona in the latter stages of the race which is what I thought he would do given his history.
If Steele had his shot what about Viso?
I have no problems with a qualified foreigner running and Indy Car. I was pleased when Nelson Piquet came over to race the Indy 500 years ago. My problem is many of the foreign drivers they brought in in recent years could not approach the talent of a Piquet or a Fitipaldi. Most of them run IndyCars as on-the-job training not as a racer that has already built an impressive resume of racing and championships. Fact is I never heard of most of them so I suspect they couldn't draw flies to an American race track.
