One more thing: Mr. Barnhart, stop telling us what’s keeping the series from unifying is a PHILOSOPHICAL difference. I hear those words coming out of you guys all the time. There is no philosophical difference. Think about it. Just say it: Tony wants complete control or won’t unify. Say it. Don’t dance around, don’t give us prepared spheil about how ‘its time to unify’ and all that jazz. Most people would agree with you its time to unify.

You want to make progress in the talks? Then tell us what the REAL stumbling block is: Tony wants complete control!

Both the series want to be popular; both the series want as much revenue as possible. Both want to compete with NASCAR for viewers and fans. That’s the bottom line. Both share the same philosophy when it comes to the business side of things.

Both want their products and their drivers to be as competitive and safe as possible. Both want a very exciting product to bring to the fans. both share the same philosophy when it comes to the product.

There is no PHILOSOPHICAL difference!

By the way, I extend of offer to Barnhart or Tony to call me to settle this. Yes, me. Seriously. Try me.
