Mac Miller quote: "This is one of the most arrogant statements I've read in a while. You people try to attach yourselves as close as possible to the incredible heritage and history of open wheel racing and, then, diss 100 years of real open wheel racing and insult decades of real open wheel fans, who you, badly, need to impress, by claiming that everything that happened before you showed up was "insane".
I don't often see things as Mac does. He is pretty much doom and gloom all the time. But on this statement, I agree with him. I don't know if "arrogant" is the word I would have chosen. Maybe "foolish"? But to throw 100 years of OW racing tradition out the window is insane. The open wheels make it so exciting for the fans and so demanding on the drivers skills.
If you want closed wheel, then go watch the Nascar ball-less sissies "beat and bang". I'll take the precision reflexes of open wheel drivers. That floats my boat.
