I took some time, pooled some resources and wrote a few stories on my Open Wheeler blog this morning reguarding the Earnhardt situation. I have a transcribed interview with him and images that show he was obviously in the wrong. I also have an interresting theory on why NASCAR opted not to penalize Jr. I also offer a solution to the maddness.

The penalty to Leffler was correct but Dale Earnhardt Jr. should have recieved the exact same penality.

Did you watch the Chili Bowl on Speed Saturday night? I admit I missed it because I was out with my girlfriend, something about Feb. 14th. Anywho, the best way to get more Open Wheel programming on TV is to support Open Wheel programming that is on TV. Chili Bowl, Knoxville Nationals, WoO Sprints and IRL. If there are good rating, then program directors at the networks will look at putting on more Open Wheel TV. If Open Wheel TV develops a big following then we could see it's own channel. Until then it will be relegated to the web which may be it's best avenue for growth and financial success.
