Indy Racing League (IRL)

Tony George? Or is it Cart for thinking that they would just be better off going on without the Indy 500?

An actual head count had 504 people in the massive grand stand yesterday for practice and qualifying. Is anyone disapointed with IRL? They are blaming it on MIS. That's bull shite.

IRL, CCWS, Nascar: They're all GREAT series', packed with loads of talent worthy of our admiration. WHY must the fans vehemently bicker about which is "THE BEST"? Can't folks just enjoy their preferences without ignorantly comparing apples to oranges?

Each series seems to have it's own particular strengths and weaknesses (as well as plenty of drivers/teams/sponsors with squabbles amongst themselves, to boot!), so who can say which is "BETTER"?

If YOU like one or the other; enjoy yourself! Attend their events, PAY for your tickets to show your support, yak it up with other fans on the message boards, and keep your vile mouth shut when it comes to "OTHER" leagues (because you're boring when you gripe about something you know nothing about -- other than it's not your fave!)

It's all just so juvenile...

Hello from Liverpool, England.

A friend of mine who has an engineering background said he was working for Raynard and was given a copyof the winners medal that he won won at the indy 500 by Jacques Villeneuve as he did some work on his car.

Can anyone confirm that Jacques Villeneuve drove a car made by Raynard when he won the Indy 500, and does the winner recieve a ring?

My friend is going to show me the ring in the next few days. If the information above is correct does anyone knwo if there is a picture anywere on the web of this ring so I can compare them, or can anyone describe it.

Thanks

When i was watching the indy car race a couple weekends ago it looked like there were Ribbons coming off the back of the wins in the corners especially. Was this air? I know nothing is tied to the rear spoiler and you could only see it entering, and during the corners clearly. I mean.. explain to me what it was? if it was air, why could we see it?

Don't get me wrong. I am all for girls being the best in male dominated sports, but come on! Danica Patrick is awful!! If she were a male she would have lost her sponsors or at the least be a no-name face in the IRL world. She causes accidents, she isn't a team player, and she never owns up for her mistakes. IMO its great she is a female Indy car driver, but she really needs to step it up and stop relying on her looks to get her fame and fortune.

I hope she is, cause she's awesome, and she's my dad's favorite driver, and I think she will do really well. She will be my fave.

I used to love watching those races before the cart - irl split. Now the competition and drivers just seem pathetic. It seems they are trying to promote horrible drivers to identify with the public (Danica) to get the numbers back up, but it is more interesting to watch public television than an IRL race.

i'm new to indy racing, so if this is stupid, go easy on me. but why are sarah fisher and milka duno even out there? i don't mean to pick on the ladies, not my point. but duno sucks it up every race and fisher always seems to finish a few laps down. can't they get some better people to replace these two? do they even have a chance at ever winning? duno was lapped so quickly tonight, then fisher was just getting in everybody's way. has fisher won in indy in the past? or even come close?

try to keep it short and simple, I don't want all technical stuff just the major differences,

please don't answer about their point systems or how F1 races in the rain.

I just want to know about the differences in the cars

It seems like most people on Y! answers that answer questions regarding Danica Patrick call her a "poor" driver, "average," "talent-deficient," or say that she under-performs in some way or another. Where do these opinions come from?

I have been watching Danica race for years and even though she is no Rick Mears or AJ Foyt Jr., she is DEFINITELY one of the top 5 or 6 drivers in the IRL. Can you name 6 drivers that are better. I mean, as far as I can see, she is right up there with Marco.

Wheldon, Kaanan, and Hornish may be better drivers, but not by much. I think these people on Answers are putting to much stock in actual wins. If you know how racing works, you would see that Danica had just as good a shot as anyone to win the Indy 500 this year. It all boiled down to when the rain started.

If you watch closely, Danica always puts herself in the best position possible with the car she has to deal with. Other drivers either wreck a fast car or squander away good position.

I am thinking about attending next years race. The paddock looked good. So did the Tower Terrace. But I don't know which one is the best.

The cars were so sloppy in their formation, and the green flag was given. Unbelievable! I've seen starters make the field go around again. Usually at least the first two or three rows are insisted on before a green is shown. Anyone else notice?

My hometown paper. Atlanta Journal Constution, only has paragrah for on the last page under the "Briefly" section. Most times they have the box score. But they hardly ever pick up an AP story about the IndyCar Series. And yet they have 3 pages of Nascab stuff every monday and friday, and 1 page to 1/2 a page the rest of the week.

And the USA Today coverage of the INDY 500 was Pathetic. And the only time Sports illustrated, The Sporting News, ESPN the Magazine, and ESPN actually covers ANY bit of Indy Car Series news its about the Indy 500 or a fatality.

thats just a few of the media outlets that continue to ignore Indy Car racing, yet put out "news" about the Neckcar series !
shame on you all sportsmedia outlets

how bad is the coverage in your in market on the TV, Radio and in the newspaper ? aren't you sick and tired of it ? Do you think it will take a CCWS merger(the IRL buying what they want of the CCWS or CCWS going bankrupt again?) for some coverage ?
