Too bad they don't go back to letting the owners and drivers bring cars to this track/Race and race what they brung! I am an old dog that was raised in Indy. Lived on the North side and you could hear the Novi's all day across the city. Had rich friend who owned Sheridan Thompson car that AJ drove. You would see Ford Race Chevy; Engines were different and guess what....300,000 spectators rushed the gates to get in to see the qualifications. Race Day was just as big.
Now you have Hondas racing Honda motors, genetic chassis V same thing and everyone running on the same tires. The race has become boring just like Nasycar. No passing etc; no running people down in the pits. No Cheating!
Bring back Trans-am. That was racing. Great to watch FordM V ChevyC etc.
No wonder the TV ratings are so low. Might as well watch Golf or go shoot little guns @ illegals running the borders.

Not sure this new approach to get TV fans will change anything. Where is Loyd Ruby when you need him.
