for just qualifying. When the IRL is run you see E. Castroneves, S. Dixon, D. Patrick.
Never full names and usually just after as race results. The IRL should wake up and insist
on equal billing. NASCAR announcers will not even mention IRl drivers or "that other series". They also claim credit for soft walls and saftey innovations that Indy car has pioneered. The Indy Car is also the fastest racing in the world and should be promoted
as such. The Indy 500 should be promoted as the Fastest Racing in the World ! That's
what racing is all about speed, speed, speed.
