I enjoy watching great drivers race at Indy and great drivers at Kokomo or Eldora. They just aren’t the same guys but all are great drivers.

Lack of drivers from sprint cars and midgets and such is why a lot less people care about Indy. Nobody wants to see the greatest oval race in the world being driven at by a bunch of road racers who can count the amount of oval races they've done on one hand. Just like people would be a lot less interested in something like Monaco or Le Mans if the field was made up of USAC or NASCAR guys who have done little road racing.
