I think you mean 'see what CART is doing to Tracy to screw him royally
for criticizing them in public' - irrespective of who was right or
wrong. Doesn't it seem that almost everybody associated with CART is a
yahoo - starting at the top? They can't decide on the engine formula,
the fate of lights, running races  once they are at the track, race
schedules, sponsors, etc. Criticism is met with firings or penalites.
When companies do consistently stupid things, it usually starts at the
top!
Perhaps one of the killers to racing is publically-held companies. Run
the organization for the shareholders, not the drivers, teams or
spectators, and racing be damned...
CART deserves the bad press they get in Autoweek, every week.
