yeah, to my knowledge I'd imagine the 500 would be postponed at worst. Not like they can't reschedule IMS for whenever unless this poo poo gets even worse in the summer. it will

Ross has talked about driving for some super underfunded teams in his driving books and not being able to push as much as he liked due to lack of spares. Wouldn't shock me if they had no replacements available.

I decided to binge watch through the '98 CART season this week since I'm working from home now, and I thought I'd post some random thoughts from it here. I haven't seen a lot of it since I initially watched it as a kid, and most of the stuff I watch now on YT is either from the '70s or '80s. - Man, Zanardi is so much fun to watch again. Wasn't a fan of him as a kid since he won all the drat time, and I feel bad that I didn't appreciate him then. - Facepalming at my favorite driver from then (GdF) being a threat in drat near every race before invariably getting struck down. - LOL Paul Tracy. - I perversely love the Rio oval. The road course sucked for everything aside from motorcycle racing, but I loved the oval's charm of making everyone forget how to drive. And the final pass from Moore on Zanardi was loving awesome. - LOL Paul Tracy. - Boy was the US 500 conflicting to watch--an all time great race that really should've been called after the spectator incident. - That first Houston track was so wretched but I found the race to be hilariously entertaining. The pre race segment w/the driver's SOs was sure something to watch in hindsight. Also LOL Paul Tracy. - Ribeiro has been completely anonymous this season aside from loving up. Even Al Jr. with all his demons and that poo poo car was still capable of a few pretty good showings. - I loved that finale. Super fun race that felt like a BFD even with the title wrapped up beforehand. Would've much rather seen that pushed as their flagship race than the US 500. And yet more LOL Paul Tracy.

'97 was when he came from the back to win. I remember that and his batshit crazy race from Vancouver that year pretty well.

Potential hot take here, but I don't think it's out of the realm of possibility to say Indycar wouldn't be in too different a spot today even if the split never happened, taking into consideration the tobacco $ going bye bye and the economy tanking. As noted, there's no way the kind of spending going on was gonna last. I suppose the biggest difference would be a better, non-fractured fanbase, especially through the mid/late aughts.

That car is loving beautiful in person. Also, I'm up to St Louis '99 this week, and god drat did I chortle at Blundell's Motorola-branded neckbrace. Talladega Nights didn't go far enough.

Considering his lineage, I wish Matty Brabham had gotten a decent shot. I'd still rate Geoff as probably the best Indycar driver to not win a race.

I was at that 500 and literally no one around me was mad that Sato won. Sato haters can get hosed. Checkers or wreckers racers are the best.

I posted this in the NASCAR thread, but apparently Nashville Superspeedway is coming back to life, and the track owners would like to bring Indycar back as well from what I've read. That'd be cool, especially with it being Newgarden's hometown.
