Tony Johns at Pop Off Valve posed the question via his twitter account:Here's a question: do fans want more Americans, or is being Anglo-Saxon good enough? (see: @JustinWilson22, @PippaMann, etc.)And I think it's a legitimate question. With the first day of the Barber Test, along with the first real media availability of the Izod IndyCar Series drivers, it's worth noting that only three full-time series drivers (as of right now) are from North America - Marco Andretti, Danica Patrick and Alex Tagliani.
The twitter has been buzzing about this, as Paul Tracy has railed against it a time or two today.
So, with Johns' question in mind, what do I want from the Izod IndyCar Series as it relates to its drivers? Is a series of talented international drivers acceptable, or must more Americans remain involved in the sport in order to hold my interest?
