Anyone notice that there were only about 8 poeple at this thing? What is it going to take to get people to watch American open wheel racing?

heh, yeah, that guy going out on the first lap must've lost a lot of honor
anyhoo, i think that a lot of people on here find oval racing terrificly dull, and esp. open wheel where you can't really bump or drive as closely as nascar. But, i'm not saying the drivers are unskilled, just that it's kinda boring to watch.
