      Yeah the guaranteed spots thing I have mixed feelings on. On one hand teams that are loyal to the series full time probably should get them on the other it flies in the face of tradition. But bump day hasn’t been much in recent history so I guess change is inevitable. He probably got that idea in, oh about 1995 I’m guessing

    I’m glad to hear RP say they wouldn’t be giving away tickets; it’s proven to be ineffective in other sports and types of entertainment. It programs the fans to just wait for free tickets again instead of purchasing their own, and that bigger crowd doesn’t usually result in more money for the venue in terms of food and drinks and merchandise sold.

    • @jimbojimbo8375

      LOL about your Bears comment. I am a Packers fan from WI and I worked for Penske Racing in NC. Roger is one great businessman. He may not know much about football, but if did buy he Bears he could make the Bears in every year good team. He is that type of man.
      The Bears had their chance last year. The team blew it.
      A few years after the Pack destroyed the Bears which happened alot lately. I saw a column in the Tribune, it stated: fire the coach, fire the GM, hire one that will fire the bad players and then fire the owner. Thought that was a interesting fun article.
      As Packers fan it is fun to make fun of the Bears.
      Good Day

    First Fan Friendly correction: BULLDOZE the MOUNDS of DIRT in the INFIELD. The infield built the speedway. The dirt mounds around the interior of the track were done to FORCE infield fans to the stands. Attempting to make the crowd look larger on TV? We just quit coming. Allow infield parking in all turns. Scrap the Snake Pit crap in 4 and give it back to the real race fans. The unfriendliness of the early George era forced me to end a tenure that went back to the 50's. IMS lover! Speedway native. This is 1,000 Christmases all at once. I will return after 12 years to support RP. ~30~

    There is too much safety in racing today. I don't care what you say. One of the main reasons attendance was so huge back in the day was the danger factor of motor racing. It's human nature. Fans back in the day knew that if there was a crash, most likely somebody was going to die or be seriously injured. It's morbid, but true. Good drivers back then knew how to find the limit and not go over it. Or make stupid dangerous moves.. That's what separated great drivers from the rest. The risk takers and bad decision makers didn't last too long. Now days you can make stupid bonehead moves, crash into a soft wall at over 200 mph and walk away. It's all cookie cutter cars and drivers now. Luckily I grew up in the 60's and 70's in Indianapolis and got to witness some of the best of Indy Car racing. Indy will never again be what it once was.
