IndyCar, ‘I just don’t get it’

A reader writes, Dear AR1.com, I saw on AR1 the picture of legendary Manchester United manager Sir Alex Ferguson standing next to a Chevy Volt. As the article stated, Chevy is becoming the official kit sponsor of the great English football club in 2014.

And guys like Roger Penske say their sponsors have no interest in overseas races? Well, Chevy is certainly a partner of Penske and IndyCar and they seem to have an interest in Man U, a global brand, which boasts an estimated 659 million fans worldwide. Sorry, I don't get it. Can some please explain? Mordichai Rosen

Dear Mordichai, IndyCar and many of its team owners can't see the forest through the trees. IndyCar will always be a mere blemish on F1's posterior because of the myopic views of its leadership. They have no clue how to run a global business, but they certainly know how to run a domestic one into the ground. Mark C.
