Yeah, very very sad and only 33-34 cars trying for the 33 spots. That's what happens when your cars are too expensive for anyone to afford and there's no competition between suppliers. I don't know how the IRL can continue.

I recall seeing a quote from one of the veterans of that era of racing describe it as "Back when tires were skinny and drivers were fat."   [laugh]
