I will wear that BADGE with honor... Thank you! I knew you tap out once we got to the ABC’s of how things worked! Don’t you dare watch that race... dirty money at stake! No tap out involved. I just think this back and forth has run it's course. Polish that fanboy badge up and enjoy the race...

Your correct the back and forth and heckling of a Icon and legend of motorsports without facts is not needed ... enjoy your evening also!

Without the fans and merchandise that money is drying up. The decrease watching is drying up. Soon the money is going to dry up. This policy is grim for all sports. I could see owners very soon demanding their drivers not to crash. We need this car to last the season. Might have already happen to some drivers. End of throw away cars. Motorsports will survive. Us that love it for the sport will always be there. Racing was just as good before the big money became involved. If not better.

This is smart to not have people in the stands when the race runs. We can still watch the race on TV. I think it's better on TV than in real person. Even the best seats (Number 1 turn) where you can see most all the race track is not as good as the TV views. The race is actually boring. All they do is race around a track turning left the entire time. Except when the pull out of the pits they have to steer right a little bit. Now watching the people at the track is much more interesting that watching the race cars after a while. The start and finish is the best part of the race. There is absolutely nothing about this great race that is better on TV than being there in person.

Without revenue (money) non necessary things might end. I have not checked TV-online revenue for this year.

Yeah...... teams get paid by TV money and prize money.... you don’t run the race you don’t get any of that! Keep Heckling..... I sure Roger has dealt with that many a time with his rise to the TOP. Most big money teams will survive with tv money and sponsors money The guys that are getting hurt are the vendors and the city were the event was going to take place. I can’t imagine the amount of loss of sales for bars restaurant hotels it’s got to be in the billions if you think racing football baseball basketball just to name a few

Marion county bars are closed... have been about 2 weeks. They were closed then opened then re-closed recently!
Your right just running the race will put money in the teams hands!
