Indy Racing League - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Originally, the cars were somewhat unique, being designed specifically for oval racing; for example, the oil and cooling systems were asymmetrical to account for the pull of liquids to the right side of the cars. The most bitter point of conflict between Champ Car and the IRL is of course the Indianapolis 500, long considered the crown jewel of North American motorsports. Car design was attributed as a leading cause of early injuries, but the series has made significant and continuous improvements to chassis safety to address these safety concerns as they have become apparent. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Indy_Racing_League   (2010 words)

The Definitive Unofficial IRL FAQ He was a Sprint car driver who, prior to the IRL's formation, appeared to have no future in Indy car racing despite the fact that he had won the titles of all three of USAC's national divisions in 1995, an unprecedented feat.
