It will be interesting to see the press release from IMS about this.

This is big. Would Humpy be a decent candidate to run the speedway?

Didn't see this coming, although it is past due IMHO.

I think it's kinda funny reading these comments here and on SpeedTV that are oblivious to the fact that the story is false.
For the doubting Thomas...

That's just quoting Miller's article as the source. We're not questioning whether a change is going to be made, but Miller's spin on why it happened.
They're just sourcing RM's article...........no real new news.
"Any time that I can be out at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway, you're going to see a smile on my face." - Dan Wheldon
"It's crazy how the Indianapolis Motor Speedway can make you so emotional. I went from the highest of highs to the lowest of lows in less than 24 hours." - Alex Tagliani
They are using Miller's reports on Speed as thier source.
It's not the "what" but the "why" that matters.
Maybe, possibly, Tony ASKED to be removed from the CEO spot.
Sure. Miller would spin anything as a "power play" regardless of the reasons.
But it's still big news. And even if TG did request the change, I would be quite surprised if there wasn't some dissent on what projects had been getting the investments. There always is dissent on any board. Or most of them. That's what boards are for, to hash things out, make sure sound decisions are made.
Bet the "why" is because of the direction of open wheel, the money being pumped into the IRL, the lack of ticket sales for the BY 400, and voting is easy.
The what will happen next is more complicated.
