Fast Money

When I think about the fact that two of Indy Racing's top drivers are switching to NASCAR, I get a sense of vertigo. It seems to me that the racing world is upside down. The fastest, most advanced, most aerodynamic and exciting race cars in America are in the IRL. The big money is in NASCAR. Imagine a world where the NFL was the weak sister to arena football. What if dial-up was more popular than DSL? How about single malt scotch for two bucks a bottle while a Bud Light would set you back $50? That's about where American motorsports finds itself today.
