Zeke, the race has become no better than restrictor plate racing. 215 mph? I don't have stats handy, but you have to go back 10-15 years to see speeds that slow. All on 2004 technology chassis, tires and electronics. The cars are dog slow and anyone can drive them, including 45 year old rookies, Al Unser Jr. and Sarah Fisher. The close racing is a product of half the race being run under yellow. Sorry, but in my book, that's not racing. I can't believe how many rookie things I saw happening, including the officials not knowing well enough to open the pits when its pouring rain on the track (hello??) and several drivers completely missing their pits.

I know these guys drive their hearts out and spend the whole year trying to get a ride and all of that, but its mostly a big joke at this point. The series is being dominated by ex-CART people. Even Buddy Rice couldn't get a ride in CART. He's subbing for Brack.

And the worst part is that the cars are flawed in their design, and are extremely dangerous for the drivers. I just don't see anything positive in the series. The cars are slow, low-tech and cheap. The stands were half empty. A tornado was touching down in Indy 2 miles away doing damage and they didn't even have the sense to protect the people at the track by warning them.

Its all a farce.
