Fox Sports bought the controlling interest in IndyCar. We'll see how that works out.

I have massive concerns about that also. Any time the media entity is also the shot caller on rules, procedures, etc we often see bad consequences follow. Always seems to lead to slanting more to the "entertainment" side vs the pure sport side. See nascar as exhibit A. They slanted so far they lost the very soul of what made beer swilling rednecks by the millions pay attention to that sport every week. I include myself in that group. Used to watch probably 90 percent of the nascar schedule unless conflicts arose. Now I barely watch.

How will this impact WoO, or will it?

I hope the 2 series continue to at least co-exist with eachother and have some schedule and rules respect.......Unlike whats going on with High Limit and WoO. That was kind of a hostile situation from the jump tho with Sweet leaving to co-found High Limit.

I hope they have a dirty battle.

I thought WoO losing title sponsor was bigger news.

I just didn't see 'Real American Beer' being a long term solution after Case left. WoO needs to be careful with their next selection.

I’m not sure they even get another title sponsor in this economy.

Look for less coverage than ever of WoO by the Dirtondirt gang. All Flo all the time most likely.

Not looking real good for WoO.

They're pretty good at getting replays up a few hours after their events on Youtube. I've been relying on those since DoD cut back so much.

There was not much respect shown by the WoO's by scheduling on top of Lucas Oil in February in Florida, could of easily found another weekend at that time of the year. Feel sorry for the fans that travel down there to watch split fields.

didn't help that the main spokesman keeled over not long after the title announcement.. RIP "Hulkamania".

In an economy where gold and silver are on fire? Where junk bonds barely pay more interest than US Treasuries? Where tech stocks are bubbling? There's plenty of dumb money looking for a home.

The guy who can't afford his groceries doesn't matter here. Owners of assets couldn't be richer.

Very good point.

Seemed inevitable once Forest died. Good for the money the drivers will make. Bad in that I don’t think it’s ever a good thing for the tv company to also be the series owner. Things tend to veer too far to the entertainment side vs what’s really good for the sport. See nascar for an example. They sold out for the tv money and those changes helped to really hurt the sports popularity

I see that Flo announced they’re going back to the original points format. No more playoffs. That’s a great start!
