“Million dollar challenge” where the winner got $500,000 could not even come close to a million viewers 😂 Chalk up another L for the Captain!! Man is this guy tarnishing his legacy. Hopefully he gets a clue someday and sells indycar to someone who actually wants to grow and invest in it rather than just own it.

This was a tough weekend for anything that was not NCAA basketball, viewer wise.

This was a tough weekend for anything that was not NCAA basketball, viewer wise. Nonsense. NASCAR was in a tougher window and drew well over 3 million. Plus, Indycar was on before most anything else was on. Indycar would lose a ratings battle with Vince from Slapchop and Shamwow if they went head to head. When are people going to stop making excuses for Indycar. The series is on life support because of mismanagement. That is exactly why Mindy is on the verge of losing Long Beach and Honda.

It was a non-points exhibition event, no one other than die hard Indy fans watched it.
Plus, I'm not making excuses for anyone. All I know is Roger Penske has more business savvy in his little toe than 99.9% of the population has in their whole body. He has been nothing but good for this series. It was on life support when he bought it.
Here's some facts for the Penske haters ...
Seems viewership has been rising since Penske took control.

How’s this year going? Oh yeah, two races and not one reaching a million viewers. The season finale was terrible in viewership also. There’s a reason why Honda wants out and there’s zero buzz or interest from other engine manufacturers or tracks clamoring for a race. This is why you need major music acts just to crack 20,000 in Iowa. Also, according to your own graph, the biggest rise in viewership was done before Penske got there. He barely has gotten it back to where it was. I’ll bet you any amount this year will trend down. Everyone knows Mindy is outdated and boring.

Ok, I'll just leave you with this ... IndyCar 2023 season scores record viewership on NBCMost watched season of the North American open-wheel racing series since 2011.Confirmed: Two per cent increase in viewership compared to 2022 Most watched season of IndyCar since 2011 Third consecutive year of audience growth for the series Most streamed season on record, led by Peacock’s coverage Context: Half of the season’s 16 races averaged more than one million viewers, tying last year for the highest mark since 2008. NBC’s 13 races posted a total audience delivery of 1.47 million viewers, up four per cent from last year’s coverage on NBC. www.sportspromedia.com/news/indycar-record-nbc-viewership-2023/

That’s because the amount of races that were on network TV. This year they do not have that luxury and the ratings will reflect. Also, the demographics are not in any key groups and is why most sponsorships are B2B and not consumer driven. Honda knows this series is on its last leg and is acting accordingly. You could put an infomercial on network TV in a decent window and the ratings would be halfway decent. Every metric is trending down and the next TV contract will reflect that. I would not be surprised if there are no suitors for Indycar. The end of Indycar is in site, if you took off your blinders, you would see this. You are the second coming of Baghdad Bob. But, at least you are still Mindy….. hey!!!!!!

Funny how you don’t want to bring that up. Apparently all the “gains” from last year are not translating to this year. Clearly all the “new” fans saw enough and said: “I’m good, I’ll pass. I’m no longer Mindy.”

Have a nice day. And try to relax - getting this worked up over it is not healthy.

You are Mindy!!! And you are the one getting all worked up about and going nuts. I’m calm and using facts and reason. You are flipping out like the local madman because you are taking things to personal. Stop being so offended. It’s definitely not a good thing.

I'm not the guy using multiple exclamation points after every other sentence or calling the other guy names.
Stop with the juvenile 'Mindy' shit huh? You're just making yourself look an ass, friend.
Now, if you'll excuse me, I have more important matters to tend to. I won't be back to carry on this 'conversation'.

You have terrible anger issues and are passive aggressive. I could refer you to a quality therapist that could assist you. It seems you are directly your hostility towards me, but I forgive you. I know you are taking things out on me because it’s easier than dealing with your real issues. I hope you come to peace with things and receive the necessary support. Oh, and you are 100% Mindy….. hey!!!!!!!!!!!! And you want to talk about juvenile? I’m not the adult using memes. What are you, a 14 year old middle school kid? And the reason you walk away is because you have zero argument. Indycar is a sinking ship and only the biggest of fanboys do not see this. Is it any wonder this message board has dwindled to 5-6 people? Nobody cares anymore.

Crisis averted. Forsythe bought out the Kalkoven estate. Long Beach is all his now, and he's commited to Indycar. Next issue.

I had so much hope for what Penske would do with IndyCar and with the Speedway.
I am totally underwhelmed with what Roger has been doing with IndyCar - which appears to be NOTHING.
I am aware he has put $millions into the Speedway, but I have not been there to see the results.
The only RESULTS I can see is IndyCar and I don't see anything that has been done - I understand mailings come from 'The Indy Racing League'! WTF?

Re LS They settled out of court. I that was quick, I'm guessing the county didn't have to concede much.

All he cares about is IMS, and I get it, it’s the money maker and historic. But, that is why someone else should run the series. When the speedway and series were split into two groups (CART), the entire sport prospered. I think because you have specific focuses. Penskes ownership has turned me into a bigger NASCAR fan unfortunately. Indycar is so dull. I almost miss the Gene Simmons days.
