Last Weekend was the First Time Since 1997 that Tony Kanaan or Helio Castroneves was not in the Same Open Wheel Field

I would point out that last weekend was the first time Since 1997 that Tony Kanaan or Helio Castroneves was not in the Same Open Wheel Field. This would feed off the Lincoln-Kennedy Argument you'd learn in Middle School or the Garlits-Prudhomme Mannerisms that would be in the Drag Racing Community.

The streaks where we had Helio Castroneves and Tony Kanaan in the Same Indy Car Fields where 1998-2008 and 2009-2017 and the lone break being Helio Castroneves's IRS Battles and Trials. The fact of the matter is having to sort a Generation of Open Wheel History when it has been anything but settled.

But, I would have had just as buried had everything happened when the World went to Pot and then some, but, this is the first time since the 1997 California 500 that Helio Castroneves and Tony Kanaan was not in a Major Open Wheel Field.

Tony Kanaan is already the All Time Indy Car Ironman Starter and that stands alone on its own right. This was not having to unhappily break the news on a 4th of July Weekend Evening, but, this was planned because Helio has been Indianapolis Only for at least 3 Years and Tony Kanaan and the AJ Foyt 14 is chopped to a Part Time, Single Car and Not a Single Driver Status.

This would be 22 Years of Open Wheel History and people would not always appreciate it, because the bulk of those years where The Split. I would think this would be a fact-finding mission if one did exist and a Historical Mission.
