I think it's a great thing for Indycar as I probably wouldn't watch if he wasn't in it. I got no connection to any of the racers there whereas I've seen Larson and other USACers run several times at smaller venues.

There's one thing, If you win indy you are required to be available for a few hours after the race, the next morning for GMA, Today etc. The pretty much ruins chances for the 600. Didn't Stewart get put to the rear because he missed pre race drivers meeting at the 600 and that's just being able to leave soon after the Indy 500

I just caught this, It's for 2024 not this year.
