  • ABC out???????

    From ncrdbl1@21:1/5 to All on Tue Mar 20 17:18:06 2018
    So what is your opinion of the rumor coming out of St Pete that ABC will be ending it's association with Indy Car as soon as the current contract expires. Can you imagine the Indy 500 on a network other than ABC?

    It's the nature of the business now days.

    Can you imagine the Indy 500 on a network other than ABC?

    Sure. There are very few things that generate significant
    brand loyalty.
    That totally does not do it for me.
