Nobody goes to that IRL race in Las Vegas because it is a minor league joke made up of a bunch of has-beens, never-wases and run by a man (Tony George) who has single-handedly nearly ruined open wheel racing in the United States.

Take a minute and just look at it. Look at the sponsors, look at the futility of the machines and look at the ineptness of the participants. So as for Ron Kantowski's column ("Full slate means empty grandstands," April 21): To tell me that an equestrian event sucked fans from an auto race is absolute bull -- and you must know it.
