Also - Graham Rahal is a free agent? He couldn't work a deal with his dad? also weird.
I highly doubt Robby would start a Indy car team. What would be more likely is the driver sponsorship side (ie Justin Lofton).

Permalink Reply by TOG on August 2, 2012 at 2:11pm why start a team when you can start your own series ? :)
Indycar TV ratings suck, BTW.
The NBC Sports Network broadcast of the IndyCar race at Edmonton on Sunday afternoon drew 194,000 viewers in the U.S. according to John Ourand, Media Reporter, Sports Business Journal.

Permalink Reply by alan4s on August 3, 2012 at 10:00am Too bad the IndtCar ratings are low - the racing has been pretty good.
Permalink Reply by WJM on August 3, 2012 at 1:39pm It's a terrible TV deal. The NBC Sports Network is not included of any basic cable/satellite package unlike ESPN. For example, Dish, Directv, and Comcast requires a mid-level package upgrade to receive NBC Sports Network.
Damn shortsighted of IndyCar and NBC when you consider that MSNBC, CNBC, and Bravo are included in nearly all cable providers base packages.
