Always seemed like a genuinely nice, and classy guy, and that has been borne out by the response to the news of his passing.
Those CART cars were awesome as well. The current IndyCars make for good racing, but are old enough to qualify for vintage events.
And IndyCar management shows little interest in trying to market and grow the sport, which is not good when others like F1 are aggressively pursing new audiences.
Hopefully, Honda's threat to quit will wake them up.
