Target ending ties with INDY car racing

[mudslinger47]

I would n't go to Target if you paid me

I haven't gone into a Target since the last shenanigan they pulled and that's been five years ago, and I can't even remember what the shenanigan was!!!! Even if I forget why I was not going there, I still don't go there....LOL

I don't care about shenanigans i can't find squat there

Every good sponsor has their heyday and then moves along, even STP came and went.The reasons Target is staying with Larson may have a lot more to do with contractual obligations than preferring one sanction and type of racecar over another. I don't know that to be fact but the distinct possibility exists.Don't feel bad for nasty Ganassi. I'll bet on him to land on his feet and not miss a beat!

Actually, Target is just tired of train racing....

Yea, the biggest race in the World that has the largest number of people in attendance on a single day in the history of sporting events is a train race! LOL!!

In 2013 the Indy 500 had 68 lead changes, 6 lead changes in the last 15 laps!

In 2014 the Indy 500 had 34 lead changes, 5 lead changes in the last 15 laps!

In 2015 the Indy 500 had 37 lead changes, 5 lead changes in the last 15 lapd!

In 2016 the Indy 500 had 54 lead changes, 6 lead changes in the last 15 laps!

Muddy ol' buddy, it's obvious you're a fool, but stop going out of your way to prove it!! LOL!!

HEY mudd you show no better than wth CIRF its open wheel or nothing ,INDY would fine if we had more americans in the race yes cirf its big race he11 a 2 yr old can tell you that but that is the only event that that series draws a crowd and full field kinda like your beloved indoor event people have more options for entertainment also

[kidrock]

Lets make no bones about it the Indy 500 is a Historic event and people from all over the world want to go to the race or drivers want to drive in the race but, as far as the rest of the series they do have a few other events that draw a good crowd and the same can be said about Nascar as far as a few events draw a good crowd but, niether series draws a crowd like it did in the past. Racing is just not as popular as it once was. Times have changed but, like I said it's time for Nascar to pull the plug at Indy.

[old fan]

and its time for INDY car to pull the plug on a number of events also do you want that also soon we have 2 events all year for you Daytona and INDY wow and no short track racing and you do know Indiana is a open wheel state most people showing up would not be from the hoosier state

Reread post #19 and let the numbers sink in a bit before replying in a manner that suggests you are a fool.

Train race? Not even close.

Crowd size Brickyard vs. 500? Once again, not remotely close.

I've quoted attendance numbers for the Indy Car races in Tampa, Long Beach, Cleveland and Alabama. The attendance is pretty good at those venue's by anyone's standards. I personally don't like street courses or road courses but that's a personal bias and obviously a lot of people feel differently.

The Chili Bowl is not only beloved by me but also by 340 race teams and a sell out crowd of 11,000 fans for 5 nights straight.

Yet they are staying on with Kyle Larson in a dying series. Whats up with that? All that they have won in INDY is something to be proud of. Does it have anything to do with the fact of Target being Targeted over the transgender issue with their restrooms ?

I have zero urge to go to an INDY car race, even at Indy.... doesn't interest me in the least.... and I agree, NASCAR needs to dump that venue... OK for a while but not so much any more... I have also no desire to go to the Daytona 500..... Bristol, Richmond, PIR etc yes....
