0:31 :D

Salazar the best chilean driver in history (=

[legonascar88fan]

stevie reeves and shigeaki hattori? didnt they race in nascar??

[richdeveau24]

Scott Goodyear and Al Unser Jr. both came from CART (the true racing series where it was real driving and not just holding the throttle to the floor all race long).

[AJ1964]

Greg Ray was the man. He started racing at age of 25! Pure talent.

[Coogmaster2000]

Agreed. The IRL now is just full of a bunch of foreigners just like CART used to be. Boo.

[poko111]

don't forget Billy Boat!

IRL needs more American drivers like they used to have.

[locuxota]

horrible field..one of the worst list of drivers ever in this race, only untalented people.

[poko111]

I guess you are a c^rt fan... i'll take Buddy Lazier or Greg Ray over any guy who raced in c^rt thru 1996-2004

[8pablo]

how is named the intro song? it brings me back much memories fron IRL on chilean tv and now on espn...

[f1diva]

it looks and feels so empty

[ltnascar]

Greg Ray was the IRL Master Until Sam Hornish Jr. Came into IRL.

[Buggy1Boy]

Since Sam Hornish Jr. is now in NASCAR, I think Tony Kannan, Dan Wheldon, and Danica Patrick could be the masters of the IRL.

[Randildo]

Yeh Danica? Maybe when she wins a race or two sure. She Masters the publicity lol. Shes got a way to go to catch TK and Wheldon.

[ltnascar]

[ltnascar]

On RealRacer2442 Comment It Did Not Mentioned Tony Stewart but he is in NASCAR.

[richdeveau24]

You forgot Casey Mears.

[mysaveloy]

sarah fisher had some talent but that crash in texas 2001 kinda made her be not such a contender to win any races

[redriverman2006]

He raced in the ALMS. For the factory Acura team "Patron Highcroft Racing". I believe it was Rahal was suing Sharp for taking the Patron sponsorship to the ALMS. It's nearly impossible to get sponsorship in the IRL these days so it's understandable.

[ltnascar]

JJ Yeley Is Now In NASCAR

[dalejrgamer]

More like JJ Failey

[ltnascar]

JJ Yeley?

[BadBooking]

I miss this stuff. I was never the biggest follower, but was always impressed how these guys kept those little rockets under control at 220 MPH.

[richdeveau24]

In CART, they could reach 240 MPH and actually had to brake and fight with their cars, unlike the IRL where they just hold it full throttle. I'm not saying it's easy, but CART had real race cars. It had horsepower and took real race car drivers. There's a reason why CART drivers kept winning the Indy 500 earlier this decade (Helio, Montoya and almost Paul Tracy).

[Buggy1Boy]

And Dario Franchitti

@richdeveau24

Too true. Paul Tracy was clocked at 256mph in practice one year in practice at Fontana when he was with team cool green. I think it was 2000 or 2001. Bring back the Hanford device and superspeedways next year hopefully when we go back to turbos.
