So....it appears as though history is starting to repeat itself. It seems like the team owners in the IZOD IndyCar Series do not like Randy Bernard's leadership. They are demanding he be fired. Reminds me a little of CART. According to Robin Miller, these men are John Barns and Tony George. Well then, that is funny because Tony George shouldn't have left his position in the IRL in the first place. But he did. And now he's demanding that Randy Bernard be fired? Yes, that totally makes sense. Someone needs to tell George that it's not his league anymore. He had his chance, he had his time, he ruined open wheel racing in America as we know it, he pissed off Formula 1, now he's demanding that the man running his league be impeached.
I'll be honest, I like Randy. I think everything he's doing for IndyCar is fantastic. He's just trying to get people to watch the dang races he's putting on. He's trying to turn it around and add more races to achieve a 50/50 split between ovals and roadcourses. Bernard does NOT deserve this.
You know what? If Tony George and John Barns don't like the way IndyCar is, well, why not just start your own series again? Tony did it once, he might as well just do it again. I'd honestly like to see how far that league went. Randy Bernard is doing too good of a job to fall into the same fate that CART did. I highly doubt Tony George will succeed with his new league (if he makes it) like he succeeded with the IRL. This is one time that I firmly believe that Randy just needs to say, 'Hey guys, if you don't like it, no one is forcing you to compete in IndyCar.'
