As a longtime practitioner of the advertising arts, I have mastered the art
of weaseled language. The USGP is a US event and thus cannot be compared to
Monaco. The Brickyard 400 pays more than Daytona and thus is the greatest
event of its kind-- high purse NASCAR racing. I won't dispute that Monaco
and Daytona are tops for European F1 and NASCAR crowd pleasing, respectively.
Please, let us have a little hyperbole here in Indy, also the Capital of
Amateur Sports.

No City in the history of racing has ever hosted the four greatest events of
their kind,
as we do here with the Indianapolis 500, the US Grand Prix, the Brickyard 400
and the NHRA US Nationals.
