I really wanted an NTT Data Challenge a la the Marlboro Challenge just to invite more tracks to the Indy Car Scene, but, I couldn't get that this next season.

I'd rather have The Home of the Indianapolis 500 be Non-Negotiable

 I don't know if this is the Disney Kid in me, which it is not, but, more of the rigid Yes Sir-No Sir Traditionalist that is starving for What to Do, but, I'd rather have the Home of the Indianapolis 500 be Non-Negotiable and on ABC again.

I feel that Mr. Penske is not going down the Delay, Delay, Delay, Delay, Delay route of George and Barnhart and that Mr. Penske is not going to leave IndyCar to anyone like Andrew Craig. What I feel concerned is after Penske, we'd be back to those Old and Bad Habits.

It is a Business Move and I'd rather throw Money at the Indianapolis 500 Lap Fund and encourage having Oval Sprint Car Americans make the State Championship Sign stick better. I don't think that IndyCar has ARCA Problems right now, but, we can't be questioning who is and isn't in my scene ever again.

The Indy Car Scene and the Q Scores

 Other than the CART-IRL Split, we'd have someone who'd be Indy Car Champion with No National Name Awareness, Good, Bad, or Indifferent. It concerns me because I'd feel that a lot of these Formula Seats are overcrowding legit Indy Car Seats.

I'd sense that what is nuts is a lot of people that should be Good or Great would settle for a handful of Victories. Which is great, but, it is very problematic.

I feel it is causing a real bottleneck on Dallara's End, which is a Problem, and I'd want someone to take on Dallara. It is not a cure and it is not fun.

Indy Car would have 1st World Problems and that is a Problem. Thankfully, we don't have an Indifferent Series Leader like a lot of times in recent years, and that is not the issue.

People don't have the money and it makes it harder to get Sponsors. I'd feel that we don't have anyone covering Indy Car on a Front Channel Budget and that is a Problem. Bob Jenkins near the end before things went awry was more interested in the Beatles than Auto Racing and Robin Miller literally decayed near the end, as both are huge losses to the Blue Collar Fan Base.

No one is asking for Atlanta or Richmond other than me and I feel that I would be shouting into the Unknown.

Major Open Wheel Will Be Having American Money and an American Base!

 I feel that Major Open Wheel will be having both American Money and an American Base! What I would feel is going around is Mazepin and His Deadbeat Dad is trying to piss off the State Department worse than the Saudis holding WWE Wrestlers with trying to buy Haas F1 and to make it worse, we are stuck with antipathy with British Formula One with McLaren having their Fun and Williams hanging on!

I feel that we would have to Power the World's Economy and Money and that would be a Dale Jr. Reflex. I don't like to admit that, but, it is true. I'd really want Andretti to be Formula One's American Hero badly and I feel that it is badly.

I do not like Haas and the tired trope of Stewart Haas is they are a Better Bahari and they can't do Pit Stops Well. I feel that having both American Money and an American Base would be a Necessary Evil because if I'd wanted to see Floorboards Breaking, I'd want a Swamp Rat.

I'd rather have the Swamp Rat more than the Dallara! The Dallara Hating Trope has been Longer and Older than South Park! I am thinking it would be a Nightmare Trying to Tell the Williams or the McLaren Story as a Museum and not as a De Facto Racing Team.

The IndyCar Family Has Had Health Issues this Year

The IndyCar Family has had health issues this year left and right with losing Uncle Bobby, and having Cancer Diagnosis of Lindy Thackston and Bob Jenkins. And then, the 4 Time Winner Faculty in AJ Foyt, Al Unser Senior and Rick Mears have health issues, and that is to top it off with Robin Miller's Health Issues keeping him from the Mailbag.

I don't like approaching this and I feel that I'd get looked at like I have 3 Heads over IndyCar's Key Heroes/ Contributors having Health Problems, affecting the presentation of the show. I'd feel that the Business Side of IndyCar has been needing a good busting into shape, especially amid other things, having to actually throw my Hard Earned Money into the Lap Fund just to pump up IndyCar Winnings.

I'd yell "ATLANTA!" only because they'd be a Good Season Finale with the Repave, "CHARLOTTE!" to woo either the Carolina 500 and or the All Star Race back to town, and "DARLINGTON!" to have a Michigan Slate, where the obvious reopening is "MICHIGAN!" only because there are Safety Concerns at Belle Isle.

I'd feel these Health Claws exposed the fact the IndyCar/Indianapolis Motor Speedway Offices need to get in shape and Home, especially to a Fan like Me, is nonnegotiable. Even though I am grateful that the Renewal 500 will run through Helio, but, I do feel mad there is not a good Oval Track American to fill the bill where Hinchcliffe can't and won't.

Elvis and Hockeytown Are Going at the Same Time

 I do not like preoccupying myself on why we'd have a King Henry the VIII degree of Health Problems in the Indy Car Scene. Uncle Bobby, Bobby Unser died this last month, and Bob Jenkins has Brain Cancer. Lindy Thackston has her own Cancer Issues, AJ Foyt doesn't have far to go and that is among the myriad of health problems.

It is not fun to see Elvis and Hockeytown going at the same time. Helio will circle the square on Back to Backs and it would not be a happy scene to everyone. It is not fun that we'd see Allen Bestwick on the PA like "What Did You Do to My PA?"

Robin Miller is in Poor Health and I don't think he has room to argue about a Schumacher Chassis, especially when Don Schumacher doesn't have that far to go and Sarge is in his Biggest Identity Crisis Since High School.

I hate Dallara so much that I'd want to remarry jobs to the Family Table. Some of these people hawking wares are bad Home Depot Employees if it had to come to that. It is not Freakin' Sweet like "What Did You Do to My PA?" like Allen Bestwick and Peter Griffin's Ilk did not cross paths.

Where is the Driver Development in the Indy Car Scene?

 I feel for as much losing Dan Wheldon and Justin Wilson stung, as both being my friends after High School ended, but, nobody in Indy Car is talking about is losing Bryan Clauson. Each of the Open Wheel Losses still hurt measurably and hurt to this day.

I feel there has to be a material incentive to do Driver Development. There has to be a lot more Stock Cars and what makes me mad that I would not want another Mazepin.

It is a nightmare and I feel it has to be actually an oval or oval track racers instead of just finding people who'd lose to Lewis Hamilton.

There is No Merit Division Rookies in Open Wheel This Year

 Even though I am late to the party, but, the one thing I have noticed in Formula One and Indy Car This Year is there are no Real Merit Division Rookies in Open Wheel this year.  The merit would be Germany getting on Mick Schumacher's Team Case.

I'd feel disappointed that there is not more to pass around, and we'd have another scenario of Alex Zanardi, Greg Moore and Tony Stewart in 3 Years and Worse, that would be Worldwide Hero, The Iceberg of the Earnhardt Report and NASCAR Hall of Famer to you!

It wouldn't all go in the wash like Jimmie Johnson not being a Chevrolet to make the quest for the Indy Car Series completely full circle. But, the Whole World hates Nikita Mazepin and his Women Problems.

People want to watch Formula One and enjoy their Weekends. I don't know if everyone shares the Smell The Roses ethic, but, Mazepin is Pinning Mass Production Globally.The Harry Potter in the Formula One Scene, Lewis Hamilton has had Win 100 Delayed and Scott Dixon's Tying and Passing Mario Andretti would be a stir to the Traditional Open Wheel Community.

I would think we would get our Sprint Car Hero in Indy Car to make their Long Beach and Toronto debut, or better yet, their Superspeedway Debuts.

Tiebreaker Post: Everyone in the City of Indianapolis and IndyCar would have to nudge Mr. Penske on More Ovals

 It's been a Year and a Half in the Penske Era in the NTT Data IndyCar Series and I feel everyone in the City of Indianapolis and IndyCar would have to nudge Mr. Penske on More Ovals. IndyCar has not had a Normal Offseason under Penske and I certainly would get a kick out of Oval Heroes to sell the Ovals.

With Gossage stepping down, I feel like there'd have to be certain reinforcements for Oval Racing to be a Prim and Formal Championship. The hyperlocal noise does not do anyone any favors and largely, it becomes a Beer Break for the Locals.

I don't know if dragging Newton is a Crow, or having to take Crow over missing out on Jimmie Johnson, but, everyone in the Pagoda saw the Handwriting on the Wall when the NHL decided to march to the Front.

IndyCar has been why we need Sports Business because it is necessary. We have fights over Pokemon all over again because that's what the Kids Grew Up With, but, we don't have enough focus on Indy Lights. The unawareness is sadly, bigger than Texas and that is not good.

I don't want Springfield, DuQuion or Milwaukee to be a Bad Beer Break! Even though Beer is not Bad, but, I feel the Interest Inventory has to concern me and finding our way back includes, goes up to and is not limited to taking care of Cars and Home.

I don't think Pat McAtee and his hypercompetitiveness would nudge Mr. Penske, because I doubt his team would like NSFW Nudges.
