Which is why I said "if it ever was." It was indeed rare for the series to be used as a stepping stone, and on those rare occasions Indy was never the goal. It's kind of debatable how many people saw it as a stepping stone or a professional destination since it's driver lineup(behind the frontrunning pros) in the 80s and 90s changed more often than they do in current day IndyCar, but it was definitely wasn't the major purpose of the championship.
