“It’s down to RC; he’s got a really good deal he’s been working on and hopefully It’ll come together in the next week to 10 days” -Abel

“Hey Adam I have been told it was 50k on Peacock, can you send out a new tweet?” -Mark Miles

Correct. There was a search for a VP of Marketing but it was decided to no longer hire that role.

Peacock will be 5-10k max. Maybe 25k for the Indy500.

It’s funny you don’t hear NASCAR going “well we ran up against Indycar…”

That is a big miss, especially with Pato. Adrian Fernandez was a GOD in Mexico and hispanic america because of this.

So you all have heard me say this many times 'there is always something else on.' But maybe its time to look into Saturday slots? The problem with Saturday is that hurts in person ticket revenue as it typically is only 2 days vs 3.

Disappointing. All the ingredients were there. Something just is not translating into TV viewers. In person attendance seems OK. TV... not good.

Thoughts and prayers go out to the Dallenbach family. We will miss you Wally.🙏🏻 RIPWally

Statement from David Malukas:

#INDYCAR

90% good or great, i think that is one of our highest rated polls ever. It was an overall fun event. Really liked the ability to 'bump' and make safe passes, and at the same time lot of mistakes.

Hard to disagree with that.

It’s a tough business. Hindsight is 20/20 but lesson for drivers: don’t put yourself in danger of an accident outside of your job at hand.

Ok so Barber had all the ingredients for what one would hope that would result in a ratings boost:

- In social media media all week long
- off track drama/scandal
- broadcast television slot
- action packed race with a lot of storylines
- team involved in scandal wins

Make the cars rev to 16k + rpm again, 300 more HP at current weight, methanol burn. Put the $$ there and word of mouth will increase 5x. If you watched, listened, smelled in the glory days. you know.

Was fun watching Santino today. Bumpin and grinding to a 7th and now off to Indy. Good momentum.

PS 50% of the fans are rooting for you and and against! Santino Ferrucci

Good to hear
