I would put most of the blame on Tony but CART had major faults that needed to be addressed. Tony made some valid points but his solution was clearly not the answer. He got mad at his position, or lack there of, in CART and set out to get back at CART. Obviously it worked out poorly for everyone involved not named NASCAR. Tony burned the village to 'save' it lol Anybody remember the pace laps of the World 500 US 500 at Michigan?
What a PR nightmare.

What a PR nightmare. I assume you are referring to the US 500? I remember that like it was yesterday. Imagine people tuning in to see if this new race could compete with Indy and seeing that as a first impression!!!! 😂

Tony burned the village to 'save' it lol I agreed with his overall plan, to bring the USAC and other open wheel oval trackers back where they historically belonged. What he did not count on was the pay difference between what IndyCar could pay and what NASCAR could pay. Still a lot of the changes he made with the IRL are still in place in the reunified series. And the competition IMO is much better for it.
