  1. I’d be a little happier if Roger were selling to another racing-minded “independent” billionaire (one whose holdings are private and doesn’t answer to Wall Street).

  2. Will be interesting to see how it play outs. Not like the Penske Empire needed the money. Lets hope Lachlan Murdoch is simply a race fan and truly wants to grow the IndyCar brand.

  3. Its all about money folks. The rich keep finding ways to get richer. Murdoch must see a lot of potential cash to steer his company into these waters. Pardon me if I don’t have a lot of trust in the guy. I suspect if he takes the Fox road we will see a lot more crash footage, fan crazy behavior, and less emphasis on statistics.
