If tobacco had stayed, the sport would still be down the tube. The contrast of the effect of losing tobacco money between F1, NASCAR and Indycars shows it wasn't the tobacco. It was the split.

Ask him that question 11 months from now. He may still have that answer, but it's clear where his passion is. Since I haven't been watching the IRL at all and very little NASCAR I don't know, but I would bet if you checked which race he was at when the IRL and NASCAR teams were both racing the same day, I bet he was with the Indycar team at least 2:1. That's based on what I noticed back when I was paying attention.
