Though the last few seasons i never seem to know when the races are on TV . As a fan and a racer I would like to see them both succeed but that could only be in a perfect world, And we all know that isn't the case. There are some great money teams in Champ car that could accent the IRL, And that is greatly needed.
I don't believe that NASCAR is out to do in INDY car racing in this day but I sure the hell feel that they don't mind watching them bleed either. I read in a earlier post that Paul Tracey has no intrest in racing in the IRL. Like him or not thats really to bad as he is exciting and fast. That couldn't hurt the IRL at this time. We all have are takes on what the problem really is. All i can do is speculate but unification would be a great step in moving forward in modern day Indy car racing. I would love to see bump day at Indy be exciting like in the past rather than a dog and pony show. This could happen if only the powers that be agree on one direction. Is that possible??? :confused:
IMO Nascar is out to crush everything but in doing so, They are doing some of the very things that killed Cart and the IRL. Different networks, different dates, Lack of dates. They even promote Short track racing then move five events to saturday nights. Taking it off or making it unaffordable for a network to carry it.
One of the things that built it was SUNDAY 1PM RACING ON CBS! no frills! No Bull, No gouging The racers and the races are what built the sport, Not marketing. Now Nascar is micro managing to get every dollar possible and ruining it in the process
Make it easier to follow, know about and learn about. Have people in the cars THOUSANDS know about from their past and grow it from there
