Under RB: Brand new cars coming (those were "coming soon" for 5 years). 3 new engine manufactures. New areo kits (might not be until '13). Not sure where you get your math, but I'd hardly say that is nothing. BTW - Firestone was leaving before he came on board. He and the owners saved the deal.

For me, it has nothing to do with Clausen being in an Indy Lights seat. It's about SOMEBODY getting the chance they deserve to run the Speedway like the old days (hopefully some success will mean several guys getting a shot). They belong just like Wheldon has proven he belongs (he didn't bring bags and bags of money to get started). RB saw that disconnect and is trying to fix it. If that makes me "elite", then fine. RB is a big reason the series is headed in the right direction. TG had his time to run it and it didn't work, facts are facts. Time to move on with a new leader who I think is doing a good job, still a lot of work to do though.
