racer69 should be qualifying in the top 10 on the gridracer69 should be qualifying in the top 10 on the grid
The drivers don't have to though, Franchitti and Kanaan have, and when Penske joined, de Ferran and Castroneves were told if they didn't want to compete they were free to leave, but stayed.

At this very moment in time though IRL is producing the better racing, even the biggest CART fan or Anti IRL fan would be foolish to say that the final laps of Texas between Hornish and Castroneves weren't some of the very best racing we will see anywhere this year.

IRL teams not good enough, Panther beat Penske.

In the future i hope CART can rebuild and provide the great racing we have seen in the past.

I don't think IRL has 'won the war', next year will be the telling one, as it depends alot on whether IRL forgets about or takes care of it's loyal teams, but at the moment IRL is producing the better spectacle.
