Talk about a waste of a prime seat, and the power of nepotism. Herta's whispering of sweet nothings in his ear this year have done nothing for his results. PT's Uber comment wasn't that far from the truth.
At least Danica would bring some attention to the series, while achieving roughly similar results.
(But no, I'm not serious about bringing her back.)
And at the risk of straying too far off topic, IndyCar is doing a fine job of building itself back up, albeit slowly. That's why Newgarden needs to stave off the typical Penske foot-shooting implosion and take the title this weekend.
I have great respect for Dixon, but his Q factor is practically nil outside of racing, and the series could use a charismatic and marketable star like Newgarden as its champion. He'd move the needle far more than Dixon would.
Plus, while the impact of the stupid double points gimmick was sharply reduced by the results at the Glen, a series champion should have the most wins. JoNew has four wins, while Dixon only has one, fewer than Power and even Rahal.
