Indy Car racing needs to be more inclusive. When I started watching the Champ cars we had USAC drivers, F1 drivers, sports car drivers, a motorcycle racer, NASCAR drivers and a driver that raced dragsters. With that kind of diversity it was no wonder the Indy 500 seats would quickly sell out long before Tony said his four little words.

No, short track fans will not fill Indy, nor will they boost the TV ratings into NASCAR territory but I don't think IndyCar is in a position right now to turn away potential fans.
