Why the heck does NASCAR need a DTM-style series to 'compete' with Indy? Why should they even care. Half empty grandstands at St. Petersburg with 16,000 seats and the usual ratings on NBCSN. With the crazy racing at the end of last week's race they're water cooler talk for at least another weekend. Indy meanwhile will be forum talk, that's about it...
Amazing that people are shocked motor racing is a dangerous sport. the last 20-30 laps of that race on Sunday were better than anything I've seen in the DTM since perhaps 2002. Americans will be wondering why the heck cars are randomly driving down the pit lane every ten laps if they keep up their current penalty system in the US version of DTM: No major contact unless you drive a Mercedes.
