I don't believe The Speedway has lost any of it's luster. It's the same classy lady she's been for a very long time. What has lost it's luster is many of the people and entities that govern, control and participate there. And that's aside from NASCAR racing there. At the time NASCAR came to IMS they needed Indy more than Indy needed them. 7 or 8 years later that role had reversed. What's going on with NASCAR being at Indy now is an embarrassment to both but to abandon the NASCAR weekend completely would be an even bigger embarrassment to both. I believe the crowds will continue to dwindle, too.
I too found the dirt track reference a bit of a cheap shot..............to dirt tracks.
