This race was and is the greatest race of all time with a man made machine. There could never ever be an Indy car driver like Sam Hornish Jr. It was such a pleasure watching his races on TV.
A lot of blabbin', and all that happened was the two remained side-by-side the entire time. This type of racing sucked. It's not fun to watch no one pass. Indycar realized this and is beginning to recover. Nascar is still going with crap style and they are still dying.

@vsa2o From the beginning to 1955 Championship Car racing (the traditional name of indy car) was sanctioned by AAA (Yes...that "triple A") After the 1955 Le Mans Desaster AAA pulled out of auto racing and Tony Hulman formed USAC but by the end of the 1970's the owners were fed up with USAC's backward ways and formed CART in 1979, then after that it gets complicated ;)
@0143932823 NASCAR was founded in 1947... Indy (the track) was opened in 1909, but the series that would become the National Championship (and now the IndyCar Series) began somewhere between 1902 and 1905...they didn't crown season champions for the first several years, and then did it retro-actively.
@cgdale Hey Gomer jackass, me and "THOUSANDS" of other people. Do you not see? Open wheel is DEAD thanks to your fellow moron hero, Tony George. Attendance is a joke, low, low, LOW sponsorships, HORRIBLE TV ratings. And I'm glad. The IRL will not last as it now stands. The cars are ugly, they are horrible sounding, and they are slow as shit. When you know what the fuck you're talking about, give some us a call....
Yes it was.... At the time, to speech about a race finishing with a gap of 1/1000 of a second was crazy and "impossible", and then that happen and everybody say "what the hell? How can this happen? Wow!".
Side by side racing, we've never seen that before...the IRL is a friggin bore, I'll neve go to a race unless they get their cars up to spec of what CART was, othewise see ya!.......
I think it would be more like 260+ for the top speed at a track like Daytona oval... Or, maybe we should look at the old IMSA GTP for an idea... That why I recommend the motorcycle track and the longest bus stop: it cut some of the stretch a little bit and so the car lose a bit of speed ;)
For this one it is not Bernie, but rather the municipality itself. Daytona: no schedule trouble... And they talk about it, after it would repaired because it is bumpy even for nascar now. If I was a driver, I would ask for the road course use by the superbike with the longer bus stop, not the one use by the prototype for pure safety question: have you see the speed these cars could get?
Because of politics. Montréal try to get formula one and Nascar sprint... But, because of the winter and some "configuration work" to do(Mostly the pit lane extension use/not use, and some tire wall), their is little place for a third race week-end... It is still possible to bring 2 race there (I would say indycar and a 24 hours ALMS), but all politician would ask if it worth it ;) The other problem is that you are in a park "downtown" so... Noise and other touristic aspects ;)
Well, you are right for that... 1998 cart was great. But, indycar could go to a similar level in less 10 years... And, with a 16 race schedule, It still have place for those track in indycar series but they talk a lots about Mexico City, Road America, Laguna Seca, and a double race at Cleveland (an oval configuration of the airport and the classic track).
