The Real Reason for the decline in Indycar racing?
Theres a a good article by Anthony Schoettle in the Indianapolis Business Journal (Feb 23rd) re tobacco money and sponsorship revenues for open wheel.

10 years ago the sponsorship money coming into Indycar was $60 million a year ($635 million) more than Nascar ($575 million).....
Now is a dribble compared with that amount....

If you can't support the teams then racing will dry up...
