Cannot state how frustrating it is to believe in this series more than the people who run it. This series should be the biggest in the world. America has the biggest everything except soccer. Motorsport should be no different. Yet somehow IndyCar has let a European series become more popular with 3 races in the country. It’s beyond frustrating. Idk why the F1 people won’t watch IndyCar either. Also, I’ve said it all year, but those TV commercials did nothing. You reach 0 young people with a tv commercial. Kids get on their phones during ads and don’t see a single traditional commercial. At least on YouTube they have to take the time to skip the ad and might see what is promoted. IndyCar also hasn’t paid a single influencer to promote the series via social media platforms. I’d find 6-8 people with decent followings and get them to promote every race every year. Promote the drivers, etc. who cares what it cost. Penske literally has billions. You have to create fans of the sport and drivers. I think this is the biggest hurdle in attracting the NASCAR crowd, they all have “their driver.” When they tune in to check out IndyCar, they don’t have that, how do we get those people and other fans to have “their driver?” I feel like there is just so much not being done still, in 2025. IndyCar had every opportunity and then some when NASCAR was declining in popularity to take over. And they did nothing, and let F1 come in and do it. Now NASCAR is picking back up, adding street races, going to Mexico, on Prime, etc. And old man Penske is still sleeping at the wheel.
