Sorta like the title of a thread I just read.

Must be nice having wealthy, popular and cooperative business partners
to work and become wealthy with.

I won't even include the golf course as it's a non-racing asset. But if
it's even close to what one of my clients pulls in with his, Tony will
never have to worry about money on that alone.

I doubt Tony's getting "the deal" from ABC that he used to...even if ABC is
holding on hoping for better times ahead, those TV deals usually have
performance (ratings) built into the price. Can you imagine how they cringe as
they assess the monday morning review of their
Sunday afternoon outings at Sparta or wherever?
Probably hoping they can get that NASCAR race on Memorial Day weekend too
someday, since it's not in
any sliding pattern.

Can't disagree with you about owning the Speedway though. It's his to trash,
degrade, tear up and build a Wal*Mart in. That will always be his advantage as
open wheel racing gets further buried by NASCAR in America's take on racing.

Ah...to inherit and be clueless. What a life.

"Chevy powered by Ford" is funny, but is a
manufacturer thing. Has nothing to do with
sanctioning body concerns.

I've been aware of the NASCAR thing since
the Brickyard 400 started. It obviously upped
the income of the Speedway considerably,
and gave TG more money to blow or lose
on the IRL.

Man, you are getting desparate.

What a shallow and insecure life you must lead, Sterling.
