I always thought the Indy car series was a proper sporting event, like Formula 1 pretends to be when it’s not doing favours for Ferrari. But that fiasco at the Texas Speedway this Sunday just gone has opened my eyes. Franchitti won the first race but there was a DRAW for grid positions in the 2nd race. As a result, Power, one of the top “championship” contenders, started at the front of the grid and Franchitti was shoved to the back.
As a result, Power notched up his first ‘win’ on an oval track, because his main rival started at the back, and he’s way out front in the points standing. So it would appear that the Indy Car series is just like American TV wrestling: “sports entertainment” not the real thing. What a let-down.
p.s. Congratulations to Jenson Button on beating the unbeatable Vettel in soggy Canada.
