Exactly. Sponsors will find other series to put their money, if the attitude is something like "we're just a bunch of journeymen with our Italian made junior open-wheelers".

That's the Boston Consulting group talking and they have Mike Miles ear. I'm convinced that they (Boston Consulting Group) are N.E. Patriot fans that do not want to go to race weekends when the Pats are playing.

They probably are Pats fans and are behind Deflate Gate. |

Miles used to run ATP (tennis) and was involved in staging a Superbowl event, as far as I recall. More notable than bull riding...

By the way, PBR has been sold to IMG. Randy Bernard surely deserves some credit.

Haven't seen anything similar since. The pit stop challenge did move down into the financial/theatre district in an evening timeslot, in 2011 I think. But that was it for off-track things for the most part, just the odd event here and there. So little promotion. |

Also lost in the convo - career-best 13th place finish for Pippa Mann. Bravo. I don't think I heard her mentioned even once during the whole race broadcast. Boo TV commentators. Tough to convince sponsors to pony up if each driver isn't going to be mentioned at least a few times, I'd think. |
