What a shame! Las Vegas was a NASCAR feuds and 90% of seats was empty!! Most of the drivers unknowed, accidents and bad driving from the start to the finish! IRL was a disaster in its first five years.
So better that except for Indianapolis most of races had almost empty stands, ridicoulous sponsorships (french fries on Eddie Cheever’s car in 1998 Indy 500) mediocres tv ratings (at least until 2002) and drivers that competed only to move up to CART (Kenny Brack) or NASCAR (Tony Stewart, Sam Hornish Jr and others…). And the series has never been profitable in her 12 years of life, surviving only because of IMS and Tony George’s own financial support.
Great race and great upload! Do you happen to have the 97 Loudon race and the 98 Dover and Charlotte races? It's a shame the only copies were deleted from TH-cam...
The first and only victory for Eliseo Salazar,it was something amazing for our country
he was a prick and shit driver though
Hard to believe he only had 1. Talented driver.
My dad and I thought these cars used highly modified NASCAR engines with a shorter stroke in these Indy Cars back then. Boy, were we wrong lol
NASCAR never had the Olds Aurora V8 since Olds left before 1994.
Chilenos aquí :)

It’s crazy how this sounds like NASCAR.
A major turn in Tony Stewart's life

See I'm not so bad. I just say I don't appreciate my stuff being re-uploaded and then shut up when it doesn't happen, lol.
Your stuff?
Indy racing trash ... yard bottom cars ... grid bottom runners ... Tony George and his junk category ...
Tony George was an idiot, his creation made the Hulmans lose the speedway
the junk category still alive 😉.
This was way better than chimp car ever was and even the current chimp car 2.0
@@johnstratos9336ok we get it, you dislike good racing. CART is and will always be superior and faster than the shitwagons in IRL
