"At the heart of the change, said Speedway executives, is creating an event that is more friendly toward the track’s corporate partners." What about the fan? For the first time in my 15 years going to the track, I was confined to three small, cramped sections of turn 4 on Pole Day. Not enjoyable. Sponsors banners may generate revenue in the short term, but I don't see IMS/IndyCar doing anything to make the product they are selling more desirable. Sponsors only come where the fans are, so seems to me they have to do something to get more fans in the seats before selling advertising space on the walls. And 220 MPH ain't going to do it!
TV ratings anyone? Name a driver that is not Penske or Ganassi? Ads on the turns? "It's a business..." that is the problem. It's racing and they are ruining it. Tony H. is spinning.
