Back in the day, the big ovals were endurance races - both from a strategy component but also for the parts, especially engines/transmissions. Michigan, Pocono, 1990s/2000s Fontana, and of course Indianapolis are all endurance tests wrapped around going real fast.

So I definitely prefer that to an extent, plus those massive pack races lead to real trouble.

also for all the people claiming that you need packs to make people interested, nobody gave a poo poo about the IRL and people did give a poo poo back in the 80s

One day Indycar is just going to be rejected and / or retired F1 drivers.

the 1985 Indycar season had Roberto Guerrero, Bruno Giacomelli, Alan Jones, Jan Lammers, Roberto Moreno and "Oncle Jacques" Villeneuve making starts. Not to mention all the ex-F1 Indycar stalwarts including Andretti/Fittipaldi, or even Sullivan/Rahal.

Jimmie Johnson wasn't even good in his last few NASCAR seasons.

is this a good race or a bad race?

Extremely bad though the IRL fans liked to call this the best racing on earth because hey it's side by side

Didn't USAC Indycars run that one? At some point the track owners stopped having money and the track surface became too lovely to race anything fast on, IIRC.
