Russfeld should be qualifying in the top 10 on the grid
$$$ is part of the product. If you guys want to beleive Green, Ganassi, Haas, Penske, et al are in it just for the racing you are sadly deluded. First and foremost these guys are making business decisions. If the IRL is offering them more $$$ overall, there's no reason for them not to go there, and it would be out of the character of the business team owner to do otherwise. You guys can go on about loyalty, principles, enron, whatever but that isnt realistic. You were under the false pretense that these guys were 'true racers' to begin with. Carl Haas is a greedy man, and its hurting his team.

And this stuff about attacking the series that created you blah blah. Well thats true CART did make names out of Andretti, Kanaan, Franchitti etc. But the Indy500 and Indycars in general are what gave birth to CART. So who's spitting on who?
