You got me there! I do wish more racers from the "Top" (Expensive) series would race more dirt stuff. If they think they are the best they need to get a little dirt on themselves to prove it. Maybe somebody could get Michael Schumacher a ride at the Chili Bowl!

I think for every road race the IRL has, there should be a Mile dirt show as well. the cars could be leased to the teams.
