i'd rather have him stick with commentating on NHRA drag racing than the IRL.

Who's the one that always says "woooow" when something unusuall happens?

Paul Page

At the SportsBusiness Daily/SportsBusiness Journal Motorsports Marketing Forum at the Westin at Times Square in N.Y which started yesterday the question of whether or not the IRL is profitable was put to Tony George.

I'm glad he is putting 2013 as the year where it needs to start making a profit because it has been fairly obvious that the IRL has never made a profit yet.

Ok so we now know that there will be end of the World in 2012.

Every Firestone Indy Lights race live on Versus.

$5 says that the web streams will get higher ratings than the Versus telecasts.

I've never seen the channel, but it seems that the only thing wrong with Versus and his IRL deal is the fact that it doesn't have the reach that ESPN has.

EDIT: In the article is doesn't say that the races will be live on Versus. It says that they will be live in indycar.com and shown on Versus.

The races will be live on Versus and ABC. Whether any one watches is another question.

and that most people aren't aware it even exists anyway

I meant the Indy Lights races. rgordon said that they were going to be live but they aren't.

No, the races will be taped delay.

Andretti (Marco) and Viso will stay with their respective teams for next year

I guess no word on Wilson, Oriol, and Power, huh? It would suck donkey balls to loose them...

Viso said that Doornbos would be his teammate, I read some weeks ago.

Al Unser Jr's in trouble again, this time he's been the victim of Blackmail by the head of a prostitution ring according to this:

And to anyone who thought Porsche would join the IRL, they officially said yesterday that that would not be happening.

can't say i'm surprised.

On the other had according to Autosport, Indycar officials are heading out to Germany to talk to Audi. Alfa Romeo are reported to have some interest as well.
