Indy is coming back….in a big way! I would rather watch cars going 220 miles per hour than 190 around the same track. An IndyCar can lap a Cup car every 4 to 5 laps at Indianapolis Motor Speedway. Think about it, Indy compared to NASCAR is like boxing (NASCAR) compared to cage fighting (Indy) these guys don't have fenders and are going over 200….Hmmmm! In the long run since the 2 open wheel series have now come back together Indy will soon dominate.

Although in pure numbers, NASCAR squeaked by with a win, considering that Indy was a day time start (10 am on the West Coast) and NASCAR was prime time, the numbers for Indy were more impressive.

Note to Bill: you might want to bold your disclaimer. Kevin, the games on versus didn’t get in the weekly top 40 cable shows. it is the only data we receive directly from Nielsen for cable shows and the game on Versus didn’t make that list so we didn’t include them. The number I saw for Game one on Versus was 2.3 million — it would have at least edged out Colonial Golf.

I thought Game 1 of the Stanley Cup Finals did 2.4 million viewers on Versus. Shouldn’t that be on the list?
