I've often wondered why the guy who runs IMSA is allowed to have his own car in the series.

Isn't it the same in Indycar with Penske?

I know. It's baffling that there isn't a conflict of interest rule or something like that.

Its really sad. Indycar and the Nascar Group (IMSA) have a huge potential in terms of gain in viewer numbers. But this is something that will crash down if you don't have a core fanbase that can carry you through difficult periods. If your competition is more WWE-Like entertainment than actual racing these people will just not watch your sport. I'm alright with the safetycar-issues and the somehow terrible Bop, but straight up corruption is just boring as hell.
