    Me, too. I'm thinking... Jourdain joins IndyCar... it'll jump 15 points in the ratings now... how many Americans that are not hard core Indy/Champ/CART fans have even heard of this guy? And he's bringing Mexican sponsors.... that'll sell like hotcakes in in Peoria and Paducah.
    If you do what you've always done...

    you'll get what you've always gotten.

    Who gives a crap what kind of ratings "bump" it will provide?

    Its a professional Race Car Driver who wants to run in The 500 Mile Race

    Its a good thing

    No, but it will sell in Los Angeles and a good part of the South Western USA. Fernandez and Jourdain had pretty big followings over here.

    That's a little bigger than you're small townie towns in Mayberry. It may have been the case in 1968, but times have changed.

    WIN.

    Glad to have him and his sponsorship and his home country fans. I can't remember if he has run the 500 before. Has he?
    All rides are bought. But occasionally the currency is talent.
