[QUOTE="Kerry Matthews, post: 591698, member: 54981"] The reason you don't recognize the names in open wheel is because of the split in open wheel racing. And because outside of the USA, oval racing is almost unheard of, so most kids in other countries learn to race on road circuits, where driving talent is honed. And when you're looking for the best talent in the WORLD... I'm sure that most of the 'elder' members on this board remember like I do when open wheel racing was the most popular, and nascar was a upstart southern operation. After Tony George started the IRL, open wheel racing lost a lot of it's momentum here. Now what's Tony got? Foreign engine manufacturers, (HONDA) Foreign drivers, most from Champ Car because of lack of sponsorship dollars, and no one in the stands. They FINALLY got smart and started to do some road racing after most all the teams started complaining about the 'Gladiator' racing that is ovals. [/QUOTE]
