They certainly don't seem to be too many in the IRL, either!
There's been quite a bit of "pandering" there, too, in the last few years.
And Petty hiring Fittipaldi last year....that's not "pandering"?
BTW, GP, who are RHR and Allmendinger...chopped liver?
True, there aren't too many good American drivers in open wheel...most of them are in NASCAR. It would be nice to see more American drivers in open wheel racing, but not the entire field.
And I will agree that open wheel racing needs to get back to reconnecting with its fan base in this country and NOT connect with fans in Korea or South Africa (or elsewhere)
This country has been "The Melting Pot" for centuries.
And I might agree that having ONE series might make the difference.
Diversity is what made the US the country it is (Canada, too
)
And it's not a bad thing to have in racing, be it the kinds of tracks or in its driver pool, IMO.
