American Indy car racing has been going downhill since CART split from USAC in 1978.
Cookie cutter cars and cookie cutter drivers with names that can’t be pronounced. No thanks.
Dirt track sprint car and midget racing, on the other hand, has never been better than it is now.
Guess you haven’t tuned in for a really long time. Race 1 is a good example with a 40 year old winning the race and a rookie in 2nd place. Scott Dixon isn’t really that hard to pronounce if you work at it.
