This sport is probably more competitive than any other professional sport, ... When you get behind on some things, getting caught up again is tough. We`ve struggled with things for a while, but we`ve never given up on making it better and getting back to running up front and winning races.
You know, that`s a hard question. You can`t say the sport expanded too quickly, because it didn`t expand at all for 45 years. Was Japan a stretch for us, running an exhibition race there? Yeah, I think it was. Was Mexico a stretch? Hmmm ...
I look at it as smart growth. Smart marketing. Is there a case to be made that we`re too many places and we`re too many places too fast? There probably is. But at the same time, there`s not a seat to be had in the house, and people are tuning in all over the country. So you can`t argue against it, either.
