Poor guy, he doesn't get it.

I can't believe they got rid one of the best NW races and replaced it with overhyped Indy.

Don't expect me to watch the NW Indy race this year. Watching it last year was a huge mistake.

ORP Or IRP whatever you wanna call it was a much better race.

I can't even see how it helped attendance. They had maybe 40,000 people at best at that race last year and I highly doubt that had a positive effect on Sunday's attendance. I can understand having Grand-Am there but Nationwide was a terrible idea.

There's no saving stock car racing at Indy. May as well take the developmental series back to IRP.

Maybe they will see the error of their ways??

"Attendance" is an excuseapalooza. NASCAR saves money and the networks save money from holding Nationwide at the Brickyard. There could be five fans there and they still save money

Sprinklers and dirt are the answer to the racing at Indy.
