It's pretty clear to me that if Rahal really did say, that ABC/ESPN never gave a damn about open wheel racing, than it sounds like there getting all they deserve from this marriage, which is not much. FOX/NBC/Speed don't seem to have any problems promoting NASCAR, now do they? Why the IRL can't get a somewhat similar deal with ESPN is beyond me. Seem's ridiculous to me that the IRL and its networks don't make a concerted effort to finally get it right.

There has to be something that we're just not seeing, but what?
