This Race May Be Running on Fumes
A.J. Foyt’s victory as a car owner at Indianapolis last weekend must, without question, be considered hollow. When I watch the Winston Cup NASCAR races, I know I am watching the best cars and best drivers in that class. The same thing applies to the NHRA dragsters and Formula One race cars.
Tony George rolls out the publicity machinery, using Foyt as his mouthpiece, and continues to proclaim the Indianapolis 500 as the greatest spectacle in racing. It is not, nor will it ever be, as long as the IRL continues to exclude superior technology and superior drivers.
Sip your milk, A.J., but don’t choke on the doughnut.

Why waste money, when the L.A. Times does it free?
