I thin...Ahh, good times with the Anonymous Family.<br /><br />I think this is actually a pretty good idea. Even if NASCAR fans didn't follow Casey over to IndyCars, the idea of getting him into the 500 is still solid. With some finagling, we could have an Andretti, a Foyt, a Mears, and if Just Al ever got rolling again, even an Unser back in the race. These four last names were all recognizable to The Speedgeekhttp://speedgeek.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5588720365825672791.post-30347747437774496952010-02-01T08:30:55.962-05:002010-02-01T08:30:55.962-05:00Your use of words like Nascab and Nascrap show tha...Your use of words like Nascab and Nascrap show that your nothing more than a stupid fan-boy blogger with a website.<br /><br />I'm going to laugh my ass off when the IRL and the Indy 500 cease to exist, just like I laughed my ass off when CART and Champ Car both died.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5588720365825672791.post-14100446805462177392010-01-30T15:15:55.145-05:002010-01-30T15:15:55.145-05:00I can assure you that Casey's fans would follo...I can assure you that Casey's fans would follow him wherever he went, including to Indy.

When they watch on ABC, they will not recognize Jonathan Summerton or J.R. Hildebrand, but they will recognize Casey Mears as having run the Daytona 500.<br /><br />What about from a team owners perspectiveMatt Chamoishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13442697983852812729noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5588720365825672791.post-12320199361506794442010-01-26T09:50:45.818-05:002010-01-26T09:50:45.818-05:00While we're at it, why don't we get John A...While we're at it, why don't we get John Andretti to run a full IndyCar season? After all, he's got an even more famous name.<br /><br />This is a bad idea. Even if Mears wanted to come to IndyCar, it's a bad idea. Your hypothesis seems to be that his NASCAR fans will follow him to Indy. There is no proof of that, and frankly if all you want is an American driver, there are many Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5588720365825672791.post-48223530853001578332010-01-25T12:37:48.121-05:002010-01-25T12:37:48.121-05:00I'd break out an old Mears Gang T-shirt if he ...I'd break out an old Mears Gang T-shirt if he ran the 500!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
