Really? Ganassi and Penske are noted as paragons but not
AGR the team with both the greatest number of overall and
highest percentage of wins in the IRL, not to mention 3
champion****ps, 2 Indy 500 victories and all in just 5 years?!

Really? Newman-Haas??!! What name is again so
glaringly conspicuous by its absence? As Mario
Andretti was its only driver "out of the box" doesn't
he deserve SOME credit or at least a mention?

however unfortunately for CC that number never
amounted to so much as a handful of its participants.
