The sad thing is the current makeup of the fanbase for Indycars look down their noses at anything that is dirt or front engine. They feel that street races are the way of the future because they offer the party atmosphere that the new generation wants more then actually following the race and the drivers. They no longer want to see front engine openwheel cars racing at the mile tracks because that is antiquated racing and boring. They only want to see drivers from Flea D*ck, Brazil or Pigs Knuckle, Europe who have raced in minor league formula car series come to the states and race what Indycar Fanbase sees as the best series in the world. Talk is now focusing on getting someone like Kubica, Senna, Glock (second time for him) or Sutil to come race in Indycar. These drivers have all been racing in Formula 1 and either washed out or gotten hurt (Kubica) in other racing forms and aren't able to race F1 now. The current fanbase does not know or care about a Kyle Larson, or a Bryan Clauson, or Swanson, or any other driver from USAC. The fanbase now is of the mindset that only driver who come up what they feel is the right way (karts, usf200, lights) should be there.
