Yes, IMS Power Shakeup This Week

Official release from the Speedway HERE

The short of it is: Tony George no longer runs the Indianapolis Motor Speedway or Hulman & Co. George will remain on as a board member and will also be responsible for looking at a business plan for the Indy Racing League in order to have the thing make some money instead of hemorrhaging it.

If you want to find out more about the two fellows taking Tony's responsibilities at IMS Corp, LLC and Hulman & Co., read the article. Yeah...I've never heard of them either.

On a completely different note:
The Yellow Shirt Twitter Tracker (nowhere near as extreme as that on the Tonight Show) has Curt Cavin saying that the League is putting 300 more pounds of downforce into the cars for the ovals. Downforce = grip, grip = passing (hopefully).
