No, My young Apprentice, It is you who are mistaken, Boss has several teams that used to run Indiana tracks. Mr. Hughes has chimed in that he'll run open tire tracks when able. IMHO there are a ton of ways Purple could market and still get their money's worth. But they seek a monopoly and I guess the $$$ is too good to pass up for the tracks who then mandate a four corner rule.

IN the long run it hurts, Because fans also travel and fans are going to go where the best bang for the buck is. And that isn't tracks than can barely support two heats in car numbers.

When they corner the market on tires, whats next, Brand X shocks must be used? Brand K's steering boxes?

The Young Apprentice thing's a joke. Don't take it too serious.
