Here's the story.

What ever the speed differences, the Indy car package these days make for much more interesting on track close quarters action. And the Indy series is including more road and street courses in their calendar these days too.
How ever fast the F1 cars are these days, I keep falling asleep during the parades, I mean races.

Agree. There's more passing in a good drag race than in your average F1 race.
I'm biased in favor of the home team, I recognize, but I really like the personalities in Indycar. You've got Ganassi and Penske, but there are lots of other teams with great chances of winning any race. Seeming shoe-ins from overseas can miss the cut, and shoestrings like Pippa Mann and a team of dirt track racers can make it, even in today's world. Great stuff that you just don't find anywhere else.
I'd love to see Bourdais win it.
