Maybe now is the perfect time for Robin Miller to throw his hat into the ring as the leader of the IMS & IRL?

I wonder how the next board meeting will go. Sounds like a family disagreement and nonfamily members are heading for the nearest exit to avoid getting thrown under the bus.

When ISC buys the speedway from Mari, Joie will be back in charge from his FL home.

almost forgot the tire deal. Didn't bother to watch or go and am thankful I think.
Didn't they diamond cut the surface? Everytime a track has done that theres been that tire issue. Of course theres been the issue anyway on tracks they never tested.

I would certainly think that this played an important role in the decline in tickets sold. When Michelin had their meltdown at the speedway and F-1 raced with only 6 cars, they helped the next year pay for tickets for disgruntled fans. I still haven't heard Goodyear's official apology for that fiasco last year called the Brickyard 400.:34; They basically just hung the speedway out to dry. And NASCAR is no better with that turd they call the car of tomorrow.
It will be interesting to hear the propaganda that the NASCAR "mouths" drool about the empty seats during the second half of this season.
They are having a difficult time selling out Bristol for the night race.
Somehow the TV networks will place the cameras so that you won't be able to see the grandstands period.
