IndyCar’s noose around it’s neck

Bruce Martin: "The tremendous racing fans saw at last Sunday's Indy 500 is emblematic of IndyCar racing as a whole. So, why can't the momentum continue?" One of the "major problems with IndyCar is the television package." Martin noted the majority of IndyCar races are on the NBC Sports Network, and while the production and telecasts of the series on the net "have been solid, the ratings have been horrendous."

AR1.com called the 10-year Versus deal Tony George signed for IndyCar a noose around its neck the day it was announced three years ago. It remains so today.
