Now any chance we can pretend that Tony George didn't steal the Indy 500 away from us?

We are working on it

We already have the U.S. 500, but we could replace it.

Some newspaper wrote:The CART have entered negotations with the idiot that is Tony George, and have wisely asked him to bathplug off. George has stated that cancelling the IRL is "a possiblity", because the series hasn't created as much fan interest as wanted. More news soon!
