Where did you acquire the facts supporting your statement? With a 16 race schedule and roughly 19 drivers (that race the full schedule) it'd be pretty hard to match the revenue NASCAR brings in with over double the events and drivers. Have you ever been to an Indy race? Other than the Indy 500, their attendance is drastically lower than NASCAR. I'm sure Penske will bring some good things to the table, but it's a pretty big stretch to say Indy has a brighter future than NASCAR, which Penske has a big hand in also...

I can't think of anyone better than "The Captain" to take control of IndyCar. The 500 used to be "The Great Race". It's been part of my "cousins reunion" for years, but we've all noticed a decline over the past 10 years or so. It's still been good, but if anyone can make it great again, Roger Penske can. Now, NASCAR fans like me just need him to buy out the France family!

JB is absolutely right about Mr. Penske being approachable. Our paths crossed once at Michigan and I casually said “Hey Mr. Penske, how are you?”. He genuinely and sincerely replied “Great, yourself?”. I mentioned I grew up with The Mears Gang in Bakersfield, CA, and asked him how Rick was doing and what he was up to. He stopped and took 5 minutes or so to chat with me and explained what Rick was doing in England at the time. Mr Penske is the right, at the right time, to respectfully take the reigns of IMS and continue the traditions while establishing new ones. As he said himself, EVERYONE is watching him. The Hulmans should be proud.

It was a long time ago, now, but Roger Penske fielded American Motors cars in NASCAR and TransAm circuits, and won races with them! Drivers like Mark Donahue and Bobby Allison drove those cars to victory to the amazement and frustration of the "Big 3" in an era that dictated "if you win on Sunday, you sell on Monday". Thank you, Mr. Penske, for giving AMC a shot at fame in the racing world.

@@Gordanovich02 just imagine how great Cart could've been without the sad decline with Tony George in charge. With the way F1 was, with so many restrictions, back in 98 onwards, the Cart series could've challenged F1 in terms of outright laptime for many seasons, making it a category that lots of top drivers would want to drive in. Instead it turned into a jumped up F2 category. Cart in the late 80s to the mid 90s always was to me, like heavy F1 cars with more power and generally extremely impressive.

Grandstands were packed and things were fine the way they were until Tony George took over and now things are the way they were always meant to be...Roger Penske owning Indy.
