Positive buzz for Brazil IndyCar race
It looks like some media outlets that never really covered IndyCar in recent years are beginning to take note now. This blurb appeared on SI.com:
The Izod IndyCar Series opened its season yesterday in Sao Paulo, Brazil, and the "electricity and atmosphere for this event was highly impressive." Only 40,000 grandstand seats were constructed for the race, but an "overflow crowd" of 46,000 attended, including an "impressive array of 25 VIP suites filled with sponsor guests." At 7:00am local time on race day, there were "blocks and blocks of spectators outside of the gates waiting to get in" SI.com
