Indy final ratings will go down and Coke 600 will go up (to at least a 4.5).
Either way both are still way off from Dayton 500 figures."

RaceFan replied to Joe's discussion It didn't take Danica long"Yes it is pathetic (opinion!).

Patrick Carpentier
Posted on July 7, 2011 at 1:35pm 0 Comments 0 Likes
Never really heard why he gave up on IndyCar so early, but:
Canadian driver Patrick Carpentier says he will retire after the NASCAR Nationwide Series race next month at the Circuit Gilles-Villeneuve. "It's been a few years that I've thought about it," Carpentier told QMI Agency. "I discussed it with my wife. We talked about my situation on several occasions and I came to the conclusion that I must move on. I remember when I was speed skating. When I decided it was over, it…
Continue Why no money won list in IndyCar?

Other than the Indy 500, race payout and money won is never listed. Is Dan Wheldon the leading money winner in IndyCar having only run one race? Carl Edwards leads in NASCAR with one win and $5,037,194 in winnings, after 16 starts, how does IndyCar payout compare? Are they still using the same system of a few yeas ago when every starting car was paid the same.
Anyone know how much IZOD pays to be a title sponsor?
