Why would any talented driver consider Indycar?

What a odd and somewhat sad state of affairs that both Nascar and IndyCar are in. I am sure glad Larson went to cup even if it is with EGR.

I think Kanaan could do it, and I think he is a great personality. But with the lack of continuity in IndyCar we are never gonna see great racers at the 500.

NASCAR's new tag line. Come see us race we have more open wheel talent than IndyCar.

At driver intro before the Indy 500 start he just about received the biggest cheer of anyone. Oh well. I'm glad he won the Indy 500 before they kicked him to the curb.

sorry folks but I don't much care/ alright 20, I used to care, o k? wish I had a pic of shemp to post/ there are plenty of great drivers who would love to have an opportunity to make big time $$$ racing indy cars, but indy car racing is not interested in driver talent, their interest lies in drivers who carry suit cases chock full of un-marked bills/ and why wouldn't a driver want to race indy cars, its the new pathway to napcar, since usac's silver crown car div is dead (well all but)

This is nothing to do with Tony because I think he should stay in Indycar , but I see Nascar going down a slippery slope by continueing to add Foreign drivers which helped ruin Indycar along with Indycar owners opting for money over talent

So, you guys know there's no validity to Kanaan to JGR, right?

JD Gibbs says someone from Kaanan's camp initiated a call, asked if TK could come by shop. "There's nothing to that story."

Calm down, IndyCar fans...RT @JennaFryer: JD closes Kanaan subject saying "it would be a real, real long shot" to do anything with him.
