can't wait to hear about all of the drivers and owners and crew members and anyone else in a team's pit getting fined over: calling out drivers that aren't using their head at all, complaining about the shitty schedule, shitty purse, or anything that appears negative to Mark Miles.

But yet if something happens we will promote the hell out of it (Carpenter and Karam at Iowa).

oh yeah, even if it's not a driver, if they are involved with a team or manufacturer (or maybe even a sponsor) in anyway, they could get fined too. Because that is the way IndyCar defines a competitor

(Luckily this rule doesn't extend to Robin Miller, elsewise he'd be bankrupt before long.)

The panels, which have been tested several times this year, display each car's on-track position in real time, and will use different colours to convey different information: red as the default display for running order, green to show time spent in the pits, and a flashing green 'PP' to indicate when a driver is on the push-to-pass.

What’s the best way for the Verizon IndyCar Series to attract more audience while also restoring its stature and appeal to commercial partners?
