Why not sweeten the pot with a World Championship Indianapolis 500?

Amid other things on this post, I have tried to sweeten the pot with a World Championship Indianapolis 500, and that usually has been met with a blind eye and deaf ear. I would feel like the Monaco Grand Prix and the 24 Hours of LeMans would also have to be presented with a World Championship Presentation.

If we tied up Indy Car and Formula One as a World Championship, I do not think the Sister Swap of the end of the last era would have worked in Indy Car. I would think Penske would generally mostly be a Homebody and not necessarily a Busybody given his age and we would not have a Tony George/Brian Barnhart or even a Tony Hulman to bail out if Penske's Health where to go out.

It would be akin to the fact wanting to do Street Fights within the shadow of the field Herschel Walker ran wild in and not having "Don't Do This", and worse, they'd have no interest being split back being sent to where they where before. I would have flown off the dome on something unrelated and something else unrelated, too, but, the Lock and Key Gatekeeper would not happen every single day and I would feel as if the Indianapolis Miles Per Hour Record should be a Points Championship.

If you had to move something else just to get something else moved quicker, at least have the paperwork and not just having to move figures out. If we had to move something akin to Miles Per Hour Records being a Bonus Points Relay, there would be more than one discussion and I would not just mash equipment just to be mad that I would have gotten the perks of 250 Miles Per Hour Should it come up.

I do not want to see another 2010 Scenario, and the reproach for the Renewal 500 has not necessarily spilled over into the other Race Days. I would feel like the Indianapolis Record would be rewritten at least twice next May 15th, 2021 and would be in the same Miles Per Hour and I would think 238 would go down next May 16th, 2021.

Big Downvote for the Indianapolis 500 being the traditional Brickyard 400 Weekend

I am not a spoilsport when it comes to most postponements, or cancellations, other than not having the bell of the Drake Relays, the Regular Season Rose Bowl, or the College World Series, Final Fours and Frozen Fours. But, being an active Indianapolis 500 Descendant like I'd keep the Chicago Cubs in 1st Place if it was someone else, I would feel like it is a big downvote.

Even though I would go about trying to get Tony Schumacher to make his Indianapolis Motor Speedway Debut, which his NHRA Debut already was its own scene, and try to see if TJ Zizzo would ring out a bigger upset than his near-Gatornationals Upset Last Spring, it would not feel the same like having to sync my watch to Taps.

I wear my heart on my sleeve and that is not just because I am autistic. If we had a Sarge or Zizzo Upset as the Mother of them All, bigger than Arie Luyendyk,Sr.'s "Poetry In Motion", it would refire Chicago and Chicagoland's Roadmap back to IndyCar in a big way.

This is not about a Roadmap. No Sir. And, I know we are stuck with a hard case like there is not a good way we would jam 10 Million People comfortably or safely without 2nd Thoughts on the 1st Days of Summer, and this wound up being expedited largely because of Penske and not another Hulman-George.

It would surely delay the Renewal 500 for sure, and the Renewal 500 having been the best Post-Tony George Tradition, if not the most visible tradition after his tyrannical run ended. Where this Champion, the economist would not let go of, is having Postponed Races and not letting go of not having a July 4th Pepsi 400 in 1998 and burning through the 2000's a July 4th Pepsi 400, into 2009 and the NSYNC and the Backstreet Boys where broken up long before that.

I am not an ocean. Or an island. And, when we'd have a chance to get well, we would have to fill out the libraries to learn and malls to shop again.

Would we have the Scene of Scenes with the Indianapolis 500?

I have been digging up tea leaves left and right it feels like, not for your Sports Entertainment, but, I feel since the NHRA announced their Restart Slate, I wonder are we going to get the Scene of Scenes with the Indianapolis 500?

The downside is everyone else but us is Sheltering in Place like it is a School Problem. I don't want to go there, but, that is where we are at. I feel like I would not necessarily speak for this year, but, Dallara's Contract will likely run out and their gimmes just to stay closer to the Eastern United States would too.

I've even dedicated a post to the 300 Swamp Rat, the only Swamp Rat that was not explicitly Roman Numeraled by "Big Daddy" Don Garlits himself. This would be the 1st Significant Non-George/Barnhart Contract that would hit the desk in Indy Car regarding chassises in some time.

I would like to see Denny Hamlin try to follow up the Sterling Marlin with an Annual Daytona 500-Indianapolis 500 Sweep and invading that from NASCAR would be more difficult than the other way around and Kevin Harvick keeping the Indianapolis Championships Fresh for another time and place.

If we where to do a Swamp Rat Indianapolis 500 Special, we'd have to do the Matte Black Paint with the White Lettering because there is not another way to do that. Even though we will finally see the Swamp Rat Tribute on Track in 71 Days again, and I mean on track, not just in cackle, and I'd hope Steve Torrence's run does not fall down, but, there is always that possibility sadly.

Why Not the Indianapolis 500 World Championship?

I feel like for not having Formula One, why not kick the ball around for the Indianapolis 500 World Championship? I would feel like making the field would be a scene of scenes and I would not have the usual Indianapolis 500-Monaco GP-24 Hours of LeMans World Championship Summary.

If we had the Indianapolis 500 World Championship, the World's Biggest Star would feel like a Must Win. I would much rather have Matt Crafton, who's still has not won in the Truck Series since 2017, has not won on Pavement since 2016, and STILL is burning a Truck Series Title Defense, than having to fever the grid on Fernando Alonso.

I would have thought long and hard on who should be in the race. Colton Herta would be genuinely snakebit, and that would have included having a better team a year too late and not wearing out the 1 instead of Mystery Man Newgarden.

To be fair, this would be a bigger championship day than the Opening Day, and it is all a wash and a waste. I would not want to see a Indy Car Scene where James Hinchcliffe is always against Real People, Marco Andretti and Ed Carpenter still have After All These Years Hexes, and that is the one we are stuck with at home.

If I was General Manager, I would have stated the Cy Springs (Erica Enders) make her Indianapolis 500 Debut and not had empty paper. And, where is Stefan Wilson (The 2018 Almost Hero) in all of this?
