I attended the Sears Point race last year, so I don't just sit behind the keyboard and complain. I would like to see Indycar racing thrive, but the current product is not going to sell to the masses, heck it doesn't even sell to race fans. A large part of the problem is the drivers. I am an avid F1 fan, so foreign drivers can't really be an issue can they? The problem is that I don't believe that I am seeing the best drivers available. For a $50 ticket, I want to see the best! Watching the race at Sears Point, I knew that these guys and girls were not the best available drivers. Watch these people on the track and a lot of them are very ragged. I'm talking missed braking points, blown lines, overdriving the car and just an obvious lack of car control. Some are pretty good, I believe that Franchitti, Kanaan, Wheldon and Castroneves should be professional race drivers, but I also believe that Americas best Indycar driver is sitting a the house, that would be Paul Tracy. We have all seen Danica demonstrate that she has a definite talent shortcoming, as evidenced by the torn up stock cars she has been littering the track with. You can quote me all the top 10 and top 5 finishes in Indycar that you want, but that proves nothing because Indycar does not have 10 good drivers. So until one of these people can make the A at the Chili Bowl, I just can't believe that they are a great driver.
For the record, I don't like NASCAR either, but we all know that Tony Stewart, Kasey Kahne and JJ Yeley are great drivers, so you gotta do something right to beat them.

Also don't pick this apart by saying I didn't mention this driver or that driver. Just go to one of these races and tell me that you get as excited by seeing these drivers race each other as you do seeing Steve Kinser and Sammy Swindell race against each other. Heck I get more excited watching a weekly show at Lincoln Speedway (PA) because I'm pretty sure there is more talent in that field than in the Indy 500 starting line up.
