If you want to run at Indy put the cup car drivers in Indy cars and let them go at it. This track is just wrong.

I agree with your first statement. It's absurd that NASCAR insists on running the Charlotte race on the same day as Indy. Charlotte should be run on Saturday and Sunday should be open in order to allow the NASCAR drivers to run Indy.

To the second comment, I'm not so sure. They've managed to run for 15 years at Indy without these problems. I would tend to think more that the problem is that Goodyear is becoming a little sloppy in its position as exclusive supplier. How can you not have open testing at the track that hosts the second most important race on your calendar? That's just dumb.

I love it! The best was several years ago when there were three in one day! :)

I’m not trying to be dogmatic but is is true that this is the first year the Cup cars has tar trouble at Indy?

I agree about the testing.

What about the concept of running two Cup races at Pocono? That is a boring track if there ever was one.

Maybe the Indy-500 should be run on Memorial Day like it used.
