| Are rumors true that Terry Angstadt was sacked? |
11/29/11 Unconfirmed reports say that IndyCar Commercial Director Terry Angstadt has resigned from IndyCar. The fact that the 2012 schedule has yet to be announced spells trouble for Angstadt because he was responsible for pulling all the events together.
Will Brian Barnhart be next after he made many bad calls in race control and he spoon fed the new IndyCar contract to Dallara and the car turned out to be a disaster in every respect – it's slow as a slug, looks butt ugly, handles diabolically and the driver's head is more exposed than the old car, just waiting to be hit by a errant tire, flying suspension part, or catch fence post.
