If I was Tony, I would be happy all the stress is gone. It only took 3 men to replace him.

TG made mistakes along the way, but careful what you wish for to those that are glad he's out. "Beancounters" are in charge now so EVERYTHING comes down to the bottom line of dollars when decisions are made. Until (or if) they get a "racing person" in charge, decisions made will be about the dollar.
I personally think from a racing standpoint...be it IRL or IMS itself....John Andretti would be a good choice to run things from the racing side. Grew up around the place and loves it. I didn't agree with everything TG did, but he does love the sport (sometimes the love is misplaced). Now the "love" comes down to money decisions.

Just wondering...if Tony will still be on the Board of Directors for USAC? Or is he gone from there too? He was at the USAC banquet the other night, right?

Not saying I could do a better job. But Tony George lives in a completely different world than the average race fan. A world above bankers and lawyers. I do imagine he would have more interest in the Speedway and IRL then anyone else in his family. I just hope there is something positive in open wheel racing in the next few years.

On another note pertaining to the, "OUTSTER" if that be the case, he might have resigned from the other companies on his own after the IMS thing early on. Think about the forthcoming question. HAVE YOU EVER HAD TO ANSWER TO or worked for a relative? Now factor in the, VENUS / MARS equation. (RELATIVES + VENUS / MARS = Goom Bye!!!) |
