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

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

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.

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).

[richdeveau24]

You forgot Casey Mears.

[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).

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

[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.
