Tony George took over the top spot at IMS simply because he was the only male left in his family, and his sisters did not care for the job.
George Bush parlayed the success of his father and his Texas roots to become Governor of the Lone Star State, and then took over as the Republican's favorite presidential candidate simply because he was the only possible choice that could garner the fund raising and public perception necessary to beat the Democrats.
Tony George is unwilling to admit that declining attendance, empty stands on Pole Day, and rapidly falling ratings of the Indianapolis 500 have anything to do with his actions in splitting the sport and forming the IRL, while his minions spout off one ridiculously glowing press release after another.

INDIANAPOLIS – One moment, Tony George is wearing a sports coat and presiding over a track ceremony to thank the nation's soldiers for their service.
George also spent the past two decades involved with other car series, such as midgets and sedans, but his inspiration now is to field a competitive team in the open-wheel circuit he founded in 1994.
Some contend George's two jobs give the IRL a troubling conflict, and during last weekend's final two days of time trials, others suggested there would be no bumping if it meant Carpenter or Ward wouldn't make the race.

This was the situation which got Tony back in bed with the President, in contrast to his Texan peer, Tony reacted swiftly and skillfully to the attack, maximising his own appearances to offer solemn, heart-felt sympathy to the American people.
No, no link whatsoever but George gets to fund the military, steal oil and avenge his father, the senior Bush, who for some reason decided to leave Saddam in charge and backstab all the Iraqi's who tried to rise against him, leaving them to die in their thousands after the first Gulf War.
By toddling along after George, Tony is currently risking his relationship with Europe and severely trying the patience of the British people.

 Deep Throttle What I Hate The Most About Tony George
So, instead of concentrating on building his own series, Tony George decided that the best way to correct his mistakes with the IRL was to steal someone else’s open wheel racing series.
This time, Tony George decided to capitalize on CART’s mistakes and successfully convinced the dynamic duo that CART’s leadership was flawed and that the IRL had the best marketing opportunities.
And, we prefer actual racing, and not manufactured racing, as Tony George’s misguided attempt to cast his series as the open wheel version of NASCAR appears to be.

 IRL News: Why Is Tony George Smiling
Tony's observations on the competitivness of the oval races is right on the money, and if they can combine (or recombine, as it used to be) road and oval racing once again, Champ Car is in big trouble.
Posted by: John on September 06, 2004 at 07:01 PM I believe that Tony George is smiling due to the fact that he can't remeber his original reasons for starting the IRL and that he is now faced with the idea that the engine manufacturers are running his show.
Tony also was whining about wanting to only unify the two series (windtunnel, and thanks to Dave DeSpain for shooting holes in him like a shotgun through a barrel of fish).
