So why don't they encourage the foundation of an independent sanctioning body for IndyCar racing, independet from the IMS? Let it be 1979 all over again, let the tracks that are willing to house open-wheel racing, yet unwilling to work with IndyCar and its restrictive schedule form the foundation of a new series. What is the speedway going to do? Ban them from the 500? Yeah, good luck with that, because you'd be practically banning everyone bar Ed Carpenter and AJ Foyt Racing
