IndyCar to recognize oval, road, overall titlists
By Curt Cavin
Scott Dixon fell just short of winning last season's Izod IndyCar Series championship, but he was the most successful driver on the oval tracks with four wins.
From now on, there will be an award for such success.
IndyCar officials confirmed Monday that the top performers on the two types of tracks -- ovals and road/street circuits -- will be honored. The drivers scoring the most points in each category, regardless of where they finish in the overall standings, will receive a trophy named for a former champion and a cash bonus (amount to be announced later).
Honoring drivers for their specialties in a diversified series has long been discussed among fans. Randy Bernard embraced the idea shortly after becoming the Indy Racing League's chief executive officer in March.
Dario Franchitti was tops in points scored last season on road and street circuits, which led him to his second overall title. He finished second in oval points.
IndyCar will continue to crown an overall series champion, but having special designations could help drivers sell a partial schedule to sponsors.
Of the 17 events on this year's schedule, nine are on road/street circuits and eight are on ovals, starting this weekend at Kansas Speedway. Since road/street circuits were added to the schedule in 2005, no driver has scored the most points in both.
The name on the trophy for ovals -- likely A.J. Foyt -- will be revealed during the June 3-5 event at Texas Motor Speedway. The road course honoree will be named during the July 3-4 event at Watkins Glen (N.Y.) International. |

What a cheesy idea! |

Hunter-Reay cautious on new titles
By Matt Beer
IndyCar race-winner Ryan Hunter-Reay has welcomed the Indy Racing League's introduction of new mini-championships for the road course and oval portions of the season, but thinks the additional titles will ultimately be an afterthought for fans.
In addition to the overall championship, in which all 17 rounds counts, there will now be a separate points contest crowning a champion of the eight oval races and one for the nine road/street course events.
Hunter-Reay, who was victorious in the last round in Long Beach, welcomed the move, but doubts it will have much impact.
"I think it's great to highlight the fact that we do have two completely different disciplines of racing within one series," said the Andretti Autosport driver. "It's the only racing series in the world that does that with the street courses, road courses, mile-and-a-half super speedways, and short ovals.
"So it's great to highlight that and give it some recognition, but really what matters is winning is the Indy 500 and winning the series championship. I don't think anybody has heard that and is like, 'Okay, my primary goal is to win the road course championship or win the oval.'
"I think it's kind of a side note. 'Congratulations, you were the best in that category.' But what real matters is the series championship and Indy 500."
Series boss Randy Bernard said his hope is that the new contests will develop new storylines and make the championship more interesting.
"I kept saying to myself we need to be able to deliver a consistent message about our sport that separates us from other forms of auto racing," he explained.
"What hit me is that we have the fastest and most versatile drivers and race cars in the world - and no one can deny that - and now we have to show why we're the fastest and most versatile. We have 17 events, but how do we create better storylines?
"I think there are two different demographics. I'd be willing to bet you that the oval demographic is more like a NASCAR audience opposed to a street/road course demographic that is considerably different. How do we attract both of these, how do we bring them together and how do we create storylines that allow for a great ending to our season?" |
At least one driver knows that those two new titles/trophies will be absolutely meaningless.

...and I wonder what the value of the "AJ Foyt Oval Racing Champ Trophy" will be few years from now when Kansas, Kentucky, and Homestead are gone...
