Please Grand Am and IRL were started by........drum roll please......Bill France...uh the NASCAR guy. Now lets see if he can successfuly divide CART his only real full-time competition NASCAR can dominate the US market. Its happening already major teams are pulling out of CART and running to IRL. This isnt because its a better league to run in its because Fancis money (and advertisers money) is backing the POS IRL.
Sorry. IRL was started by Tony George who controls the Indianapolis Motor Speedway. This was done all on his own. The IRL since then has cooperated to a limited amount with the Frances on track issues since they are both OVAL series. If anything IRL and NASCAR compete against each other in attracting talented young drivers and NASCAR is winning in that respect.
I did not post here to argue with anyone. I merely wished to point out that most of you are arrogantly closed minded when it concerns any kind of racing or car that doesnt meet your misinformed ideals. Still you all will take great offense that many domestic enthusiasts will belittle your attempts to try to force fit econo boxes into what is essentially a sport of muscle cars DRAG RACING.
As far as the uneducated comments go I offer you all my pity if this is the standards youve set for yourselves. There are a few people here that truly have love for the sport and I hope that some of it may rub off on the rest of you.
Peace
