Some companies will spend more money on Super Bowl commercials then it takes to do a full IRL season.
What is it they don't trust the IRL? It's not engine leases, the country the driver comes from or that the Indy Mile isn't on the schedule. It goes deeper than that.

Too many foreign drivers in Indy Car. They sold out their roots "American Dirt Trackers" for foreign drivers who bought bags of cash. IRL was never better racing than when there was 75% open wheel guys. Bring back sprint car drivers to Indy. As to the other there aren't very many 30 million dollar sponsors left in Cup either. The rest of the money will dry up soon. NASCAR will be done in 10 years.
