You don't get a mix of ovals and road/street course racing with this level of competition and speed anywhere other than Indy Car, and I think that's why it has remained a popular choice for so many young drivers.
5
Charlie Kimball
Gone are the days when you could lie on a beach between races and still be in good enough shape to compete.
