	www.orlandosentinel.com The Indy Racing League will begin its 10th season (or, put another way, the 10th year of its split with CART), with Sunday's Toyota Indy 300 at Homestead-Miami Speedway. Yet more attention is being paid to NASCAR's Busch (the equivalent of Class AAA baseball) event at Mexico City. That would be normal, even if NASCAR weren't venturing outside the United States for the first time for a points race. There's a one-liner inside NASCAR headquarters that the IRL is equal in popularity to NASCAR in that "they're equal with our Craftsman Truck Series," which is NASCAR's third level of competition. The trucks also are in their 10th season, and they draw as much interest as the biggest, richest series in North American open-wheel racing. The IRL's inner circle, at Indianapolis Motor Speedway, likes to blame the media for the demise of open-wheel racing. If the media covered it more, with more positive spin, they imply, the IRL would be in much better shape. But it's hard enough to look past big splotches of empty seats at the storied Indy 500 itself. What about other races, where entire grandstands are sparsely populated, and the TV ratings are small fractions of NASCAR's? Tony Kanaan is a delightful IRL champion, funny as can be. But trying to capture his off-track antics -- most of which are visual and physical, and a matter of comic timing -- is like trying to describe in words just how Charlie Chaplin was funny. It's better left to TV, just as the IRL's often-spectacular racing must be seen by, rather than described to, the public. And if people aren't watching the IRL -- the exploits both on and off the track -- on TV or live from the grandstands, it's hard to agree with the IRL's rationale of blaming the media. Consider, again, the long hemorrhage of major talent from open-wheel racing into NASCAR. The old CART regime must be blamed for letting Jeff Gordon get away. But Tony Stewart, Ryan Newman, Kasey Kahne and Casey Mears came out of open wheel for the more lucrative work in NASCAR. Kurt Busch got a call from an open-wheel team one day and a NASCAR team the next, and it was no contest, he says. And there are more former open-wheelers in the NASCAR pipeline, from Boston Reid to potential female standout Erin Crocker to prodigy Chase Austin. For this dubious open-wheel anniversary, maybe a friend of mine will revive a T-shirt idea he had a few years back, for this May. It would read: Indianapolis 500 1911-1995

Has the 400 surpassed the 500? Per Fred Nation, neither were sellouts last year. Hard to gauge whether the 500 is going down faster than the 400. Last year, weather was awful the day of the 500, so empty seats could have been because of weather. Two sunny days this year would be a good gauge.

	They're both trending down for sure. But the hard evidence of big patches of obviously unsold grandstands has been either elusive or explainable by weather. Really need a no-excuses year with good weather on race days to get a clear picture.
