'bout fucking time these idiots came to their senses and ended the 14 year feud that has made open wheel racing in America virtually irrelevant. Yes, it's about fucking time.

Is it any coincidence that when the split occured was when NASCAR became the dominant motorsports circuit? I think not.

Even more importantly, the IRL WON. Those pompous rat bastards that ran in CART/Champ Car tried to price themselves right out of the sport. Tony George's whole idea with the IRL was to standardize chassis and engines to keep costs down, and he won out which is good for everybody associated with open-wheel racing in this country.
