Crash Test should be qualifying in the top 5 on the gridCrash Test should be qualifying in the top 5 on the grid
"TCGR is cherry picking Indy. They are not 'defecting'. TCGR at indy only helps Indy, not the irl."
-if in the future they want to field a team in the IRL, wouldn't that help the irl? Another thing, it seems like a fair few people are going to watch Indy because of the simple fact that TCGR are there. What if these people decide to watch the next race because they discover that there is some good racing going on there.

"Name one. There has been nothing mentioned from any other team."
-Remember back to the silly season when most of cart were going to field a car? This is just a whacko theory, but don't you think that TCGR are there primarily to please their sponsors? Now what if they clean up and get the massive media attention that would go with it? Do you think the other Cart teams are going to stand thereand let them hog all of the limelight?

"This is the same event that has dropped from an 8+ in the ratings to a 5 since CART was kicked out. This is the same event that had near sell-outs for pole day before CART was kicked out. Did you see the crowd on Saturday? Neither did I."
-What were the rating for Long Beach? I heard that they were **** house. It still gets a much bigger crowd than any Cart race ever will....

"How can this help the irl? What happens if Obi-Juan and Jeemy finish 1-2? There will be a few teams that won't be showing up for the next race."
-Hmmmm, okee dokee....
