The problem I have with that is that the best Indy Car driver is supposed to be awarded a championship. He or she has to be competitive on all tracks, regardless of their shape. It's what makes the sport unique.
Awarding drivers to be specialists takes away from that unique aspect.
Mario Andretti exemplifies what a true Indy Car driver should be. He was always a threat on every track. But now you want to remember him as a road course driver. It takes away from his career accomplishments.
